Steps:
- Tip the sultanas, apricots, raisins and mixed peel in a bowl, and pour over the rum. Stir, cover and soak for at least 3 hrs or overnight.
- Butter a 1-litre pudding basin and line the base with a small circle of baking parchment. Beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl using an electric whisk, until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the flour, breadcrumbs and spices. Fold in the rehydrated fruits and peel, their soaking liquid and the apple. Spoon into the prepared basin, pressing it down firmly with the back of the spoon. Cover with a sheet of baking parchment, then a sheet of foil, and secure with kitchen string.
- Put an upturned plate in the base of a large pan and sit the pudding on top, then fill the pan with water until it comes halfway up the side of the basin. Alternatively, put the pudding in the top of a lidded steamer and cover. Steam for 2 hrs 30 mins, ensuring the water doesn't run dry. Remove the pudding from the pan and leave to cool completely.
- Uncover the cooled pudding and wrap in a clean sheet of foil. Will keep in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks, or the freezer for up to three months. See tip, below, for reheating it on the day.

LIGHT CHRISTMAS PUDDING
I made this because most of the family dislike a lot of dried fruit in puddings and cakes. It went down a treat! Source:- Delia Smith (with a few tweaks). Doubles well.

LIGHTER CHOCOLATE CINNAMON PUDDING
Whole milk and cream -- usually found in most pudding recipes are traded for skim milk and evaporated skim milk here, giving the pudding body without fat. But there's no need to skimp on the standout ingredient: chocolate.

Steps:
- Whisk cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan. Add milks, whisking. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in chocolate; cook until chocolate has melted, about 1 minute.
- Divide evenly among six 4-ounce cups. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap onto surface of pudding. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Serve garnished with chocolate shavings and cinnamon sticks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bring water, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter to a boil in saucepan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is syrup-like; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
- Beat 2 tablespoons butter and white sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.
- Sift flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl; add gradually to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beating to integrate each addition before adding the next until you have a moist batter. Fold raisins and walnuts into the batter; pour into prepared baking dish. Drizzle the syrup over the batter.
- Bake in preheated oven until firm, 40 to 45 minutes.

- Chop the papaya chunks, figs (removing any tough stem) and apricots to roughly the same size as the raisins and mix all the dried fruit and brandy together. Leave overnight, stirring now and again so as much of the fruit as possible can soak up the brandy.
- In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients - apple, carrot, orange juice and zest, suet, breadcrumbs, sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder and spices. The eggs can either be beaten separately first or put in last and break them up a bit before you combine everything (my less washing up version!).

- Put the dried fruit and peel in a bowl, mix with the brandy, orange zest and juice, cover and set aside overnight to soak. Sift the flour, spices and salt into another bowl and stir in the sugar and chocolate. Cover with cling film and set aside with the fruit.
- The next day, cut 2 discs of non-stick baking paper: one to fit into the base of the basin and a larger one to fit just inside the top rim (use the basin as a template). Brush the inside of the basin with a little melted butter and put the smaller disc of paper in the base. (If using 2 smaller basins, cut out 4 discs using the basins as a template.)
- Cut the panettone into pieces and whizz in a food processor into coarse crumbs using the pulse button. (Alternatively rub the panettone to crumbs on the coarse side of a box grater.) Peel, core and coarsely grate the apple. Stir the apple, remaining melted butter, panettone crumbs and beaten eggs into the dried fruit mixture, followed by the flour mixture. Spoon into the pudding basin(s) and press the larger disc(s) of paper onto the surface.
- To wrap the pudding(s) for steaming (for a single large basin), tear off one rectangular length of non-stick baking paper and an equal-size length of foil. With the shorter ends facing you, make a 5cm wide pleat across the centre of each (they should now be almost square – this will give the pudding space to expand as it cooks). Lay the paper over the top of the basin and press it down over the sides (another pair of hands is useful here). Cut a piece of kitchen string to about 1.5m, fold in half and wrap it around the basin just beneath the rim. Pass the 2 ends through the loop and pull it tight. Separate the 2 strands, then wrap in opposite directions back around the basin and tie on the opposite side in a tight knot. Trim the paper to within 5cm of the string, then trim off the ends of the string. Repeat with the foil, using a 2m length of string (this will also make a handle). Once you’ve tied a tight knot, pass the 2 pieces of string loosely over the top of the basin, poke them un
