Not my own recipe, I don't like Christmas pud! This is a recipe commonly used here in Ireland. Just thought I'd share it with you! This is enough to make a pudding in a 1 pint pudding bowl. You will need some waxed or greaseproof paper to cover the pudding, or you can use a pudding bowl with a tight fitting lid. Read more . You will need a little additional butter to grease the inside of a pudding bowl before adding the pudding mix. Ingredients:
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon |
grated rind and juice of 1 orange |
i large apple, grated finely |
1 cups sultanas |
1 cups raisins |
1 heaped tablespoon chopped or flaked almonds |
1 heaped tablespoon chopped cherries |
1 tablespoon chopped mixed peel |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 teaspoons mixed spice (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg) |
3 tablespoons whiskey |
1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs |
1 cup self raising flour |
2 eggs, beaten together |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 oz (1 stick) butter |
Directions:
1. Mix together all the ingredients above, down to and including, the whiskey, in a large bowl. Cover and leave for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
2. Stir the breadcrumbs through the fruit mix. Using an electric blender, mix the flour, eggs,salt and butter together. Add to the fruit mix and stir well. If the mixture seems a little dry add a dessertspoon or two of milk.
3. Put the mixture into a bowl and cover tightly using the lid or a cover made from several layers of greaseproof or waxed paper held in place with string.
4. Place the bowl in a saucepan of water, with the water coming about 2/3rds up the side of the pudding bowl. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Cover the saucepan with a well fitted lid. Simmer like this for about 6 hours. You will probably need to top the water up now and then - keep an eye on it.
5. The cooked pudding will keep for months. When it is needed, steam it again for about 2 hours in the bowl, or turn out of the bowl and reheat in the microwave oven for about 5-10 mins.
6. Serve with sherry or brandy sauce or fresh cream.
