Recipe of Christmas Pudding

Join me and let's see how to make Christmas Pudding

Instructions:

Step 1
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dried fruits, candied peel, chopped almonds, breadcrumbs, brown sugar, self-raising flour, and spices.
Step 2
• Add the lemon and orange zest and juice to the mixture, followed by the suet.
Step 3
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the brandy and milk.
Step 4
• Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should have a dropping consistency.
Step 5
• Grease a 2-pint pudding basin and pack the mixture into it, leaving a little space for the pudding to rise.
Step 6
• Cover the pudding with a double layer of greaseproof paper and a single layer of foil, securing it with string.
Step 7
• Place the pudding basin in a large saucepan with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover with a lid and steam for 6 hours, topping up the water as needed.
Step 8
• After steaming, allow the pudding to cool and then store it in a cool, dark place for at least a few weeks (or even months) to let the flavors mature.
Step 9
• On Christmas Day, reheat the pudding by steaming for an additional 2 hours. Serve it with a generous dollop of brandy butter or custard.
Step 10
• Enjoy your delicious homemade Christmas Pudding with your favorite festive accompaniments!
