Genuine Murray's Steamed Fruit Pudding Recipe

Murray’s Steamed Fruit Pudding | Authentic Canadian Recipe

When Murray’s Restaurant served their last steamed fruit pudding in 2009, a piece of Canadian culinary heritage seemed lost forever. For generations, this beloved dessert graced tables from Montreal to Toronto, warming hearts from Thanksgiving through Mother’s Day with its impossibly moist, rich texture and comforting spiced flavors.

And while the original recipe requires 3 hours of patient steaming, modern pressure cooker methods deliver identical results in just 45 minutes, making this once time-intensive treasure accessible for today’s busy families.
Rediscovered through a treasured 1994 newspaper clipping and perfected by countless home cooks, this authentic recipe lets you recreate those cherished restaurant memories while discovering why steamed puddings have remained Britain’s ultimate comfort dessert for centuries. Whether you’re honoring family traditions or exploring the incredible world of steamed desserts for the first time, this foolproof recipe delivers pure nostalgic magic—served warm with custard, just like Murray’s intended.
