I always make about 10 christmas puddings, have an easy recipe that freezes well. Then can give to friends and enjoy all year.
Recipe: makes 2
1kg mixed fruit
3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
300ml cream
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp bi carb soda
Beat eggs and sugar until thick and creamy. Add fruit with cream. Mix well. Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix well. Place into 2, 5 cup pudding steamers with lids and stem in saucepans for 3 hours, or one 10 cup and steam for 5 hours.
Optional: When cooked I sprinkle brandy over pudding and stand for 1/2 before turning out.
