Christmas Pudding Submitted by Mrs Claus print this recipe In a large mixing bowl, put mixed fruit, cherries, prunes, almonds, carrot, apple, orange peel and juice, treacle, stout and the brandy. Mix well. Stir in butter, egg, sugar, flour, allspice and breadcrumbs. Blend well. Cover and leave in a cool place until ready to cook. Use a greased round ceramic/glass bowl or a metal pudding mould, measuring 12.5cm (5in) in diameter. Fill bowl with mix and cover with foil or a well fitting plate. Bring a half-filled saucepan of water to the boil and place bowl carefully into the pan so that the water doesn’t lap over onto the top of the pudding. Cover and cook gently for 6 hours. When cooked, turn onto a serving plate. Spoon over warmed brandy and set alight (Ooh Arr, pretty). Serve with custard and whipped cream.
