Christmas pudding
I need a quick/ easy xmas pudding receipe, that i can put in the microwave (after steaming)on christmas day. I dont mind steaming it to start with, it's just i don't want to be steaming on the day as there is so much going on😉

I use Delia Smiths recipe, and it never fails.
You can microwave on christmas day, or pop it back in the steamer while eating dinner to warm through. If time, soak your dried fruits overnight first, in fresh orange juice, or brandy, port or other alcohol, to plump them up. In a big bowl put - 4oz Atora Suet 4oz breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon mixed spice 1 teaspoon cinammon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 8oz soft dark brown sugar 4oz sultanas 4oz Raisins 8oz Currants Optional - tiny diced cooking apple, chopped cherries, chopped almonds. (I dont use any of these) Grated zest one orange (i use the juice too) Grated zest one lemon Mix well, add 2 tablespoons brandy or rum. (I use brandy) 150 mls of guiness or stout. 2 eggs. MIX WELL (if you can do this day before steaming) Next day - sieve in 2oz Self Raising Flour. MIX AGAIN (Make a wish) Pack into a bowl. Cover top with baking paper, then foil, secure with an elastic band or string. Steam for eight hours gently over water. Top up regularly, after few hours will self top up. Allow to cool replace paper and foil with fresh ones, then place in a cupboard, until christmas. You can feed it with a tablespoon of brandy or rum, every couple of weeks if you like to, just remove covers, poke with a cocktail stick all over and drizzle the alcohol. I make a dozen of these every year they are very much in demand! It microwaves really well, I take one to work each year and we microwave it and have it for lunch. Mmmm Have fun x

This makes one medium size bowl (1pint ish) and a small half pint ish one. I prefer to make smaller ones, as its not something you want lots of, and its easier to fit in the steamer!
It really is very easy, takes just few minutes to make it, you just need to prepare ahead a little in terms of time management for steaming. I used to hate the stuff until I made my own, the difference is amazing, much lighter, more fragrant. I have converted many a pud hater already!

It doesnt really matter what size, as long as it fits in steamer. Mixture coukd be bigger or smaller depending on extras added, like cherries etc.
Please come back and tell us how it goes and what you think of taste, I personally dont think a shop bought one can compare, sorry Ericsmum, not even my beloved M&S!
