Happy Christmas puddings

Coffee nowOpen original ↗

It’s long past stir-up Sunday, the traditional day on which you should make your pudding, but not long past when a blog post on the family Christmas pudding recipe seems a good idea, so here it is.

Many puddings are too sweet for me, and I’m not really a fan of Christmas cake, but this pudding is suitably rich in fruit, nuts, stout and brandy, and taste tested by my family over the years, but you do have to note that it won’t last as well as recipes with more sugar (so freeze rather than store for months and months).

How much pudding do you need to make? Of course enough for leftovers, but not enough to use up the two 1 kg bags of currants we’d accidentally bought in a shopping fail. We have settled on volume below, which is enough for a 1.5 pint pudding (four huge portions or six normal ones), together with a 1 pint pudding and/or bonus mini puddings (made in small ceramic ramekins), which are great gifts.

Ooops. Forgot to add the orange despite it being in there in the pile of ingredients ready, but never mind, puddings aren’t like baking; you don’t have to be precise.

Now it’s just the fun of lighting it to go… Happy Christmas.
