RICH
CHRISTMAS PUDDING RECIPE
This

When we were children we really loved the christmas pudding
as mum used to put money in it. When I make my Rich Christmas
Pudding now I put little things in it that represents money

Rich
Christmas Pudding Method
In
a bowl cut up the dates into small pieces and add to bowl
then sprinkle with brandy and cover then leave overnight.
Cream the butter, grated fruit rind and brown sugar until
its light and fluffy then gradually add the beaten eggs beating
well after each addition. Sift together the flour, spice,
ginger, bicarbonate of soda and salt then add the almonds.
Stir into the creamed mixture alternately with soaked fruit
then lastly stir in the breadcrumbs and mix really well. Lightly
grease an 8 cup pudding basin and spoon the mixture into it
and smooth the top.
Cover the basin with the snap on lid and then place it on
an old saucer rounded side up in a large saucepan and fill
the saucepan with boiling water to come halfway up the sides
of the basin and when it returns to the boil cover the saucepan
with a lid. Steam the Rich Christmas Pudding for 3 hours adding
more boiling water as necessary to keep the water halfway
up the basin. Remove basin from water and allow the pudding
to cool then cover basin with foil and store in the refrigerator
until required. On christmas day steam the pudding for a further
hour then turn out onto a heated serving plate and serve the
Rich Christmas Pudding with brandy custard.
