CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING
This is a fairly basic British Christmas plum pudding recipe but unlike other recipes it can actually have plums in it. Unfortunately the ingredient list is so long, it isn't easy to make it in less than industrial quantities! You can substitute a mixture of fresh and dried apricots, peaches, etc. for the plums and milk for the ale if you wish. Serve with brandy or rum butter.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, suet, eggs, carrot, apple, brown sugar, chopped blanched almonds, stem ginger, ground almonds, cherries, raisins, currants, golden raisins, mixed peel, plums, lemon juice and zest, mixed spice, baking powder and ale. Let each family member take a turn stirring and make a wish. If you have used more dry fruit than fresh, add a little extra ale to make the mixture less stiff.
- Grease 2 large or 4 small pudding basins. Fill with pudding mixture about 7/8 full. Cover tightly with greased waxed paper, then foil; secure with string. Stand pudding on a trivet in a large pot of boiling water that reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding basin. Steam puddings over medium-low heat in boiling water 10 hours for large puddings, 5 hours for small puddings, topping off water regularly until quite firm and set.
- If not serving immediately, let cool completely, then replace covers with fresh waxed paper and foil and store in a cool, dry place, basting from time to time with rum or brandy, for up to 3 months. To serve, reheat by steaming 2 to 3 hours.

CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING
We love Christmas pudding. I make mine in October, and give many away as gifts. I make several sizes, and try to keep about 3 for us-one for Christmas, another for New Year, and the last for around Easter. I find it very satisfying to make these, though I can hardly wait to eat the first one! This recipe is a combination of 2 favourites and works well. If you don't want to use the stout and brandy, use orange juice as one of the recipes suggested-I think the stout and brandy give the recipe depth of flavour.

Steps:
- Grease 2 large pudding basins.
- Bring two large saucepans of water to the boil with a trivet or rack in the bottom of each.
- (I actually use two old pottery saucers in the bottom of mine) Mix all dry ingredients together.
- Rub butter into dry ingredients with your fingertips, add prepared fruit and grated carrot.
- Mix egg, milk, stout, brandy and rinds together.
- Mix the moist and dry ingredients together.
- (I find this easier to do with my hands).
- Place mixture in basins, allowing a little room at the top of the basins for the puddings to swell.
- Cover with greasproof paper, then two thicknesses of aluminum foil.
- Tie securely with string.
- Place the puddings into the prepared saucepans-- water should reach halfway up them-- and boil steadily for 5 hours.
- As the water boils away replace with more boiling water.
- On the day the pudding is to be served, boil for 1 hour mmore.
- Serve with cream, icecream, custard or brandy sauce (or all of these!).
- Last year, I discovered it works fine just to microwave individual slices rather than reheating for 1 hour.
- We also love the leftovers cold or re-fried in butter!
CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING
I grew up eating plum pudding at Christmas. We used to scour three states to buy the canned stuff before it got sold out. Then I was given this recipe by a friend, and commercial plum pudding has not crossed my lips again. It is well worth the time it takes to gather the ingredients and make the pudding.
