Can Crisco be used instead of suet in plum pudding?

Crisco is a vegetable shortening made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, while suet is a hard, white fat that comes from around the kidneys and loins of beef or mutton. Crisco is completely vegan and suet is not. While Crisco can be used as a substitute for suet in some recipes, it will not produce the same results as suet. Suet has a higher melting point than Crisco, so it will keep the plum pudding moist and light. Crisco has a lower melting point, so it will make the plum pudding more dense and heavy. Additionally, suet has a stronger flavor than Crisco, so it will impart more flavor to the plum pudding. If you are looking for a vegan substitute for suet, you can try using a combination of vegan margarine and flour, or a commercial suet substitute.
