atreic and I made our Christmas puddings for the year today. The last couple of years' have turned out really well, so I thought I'd share the recipe (since at least one person has asked about it). You want to make them about this time of year (or maybe a little earlier), and "water" with brandy every month or so until Christmas. IMAO, the result is much nicer than anything you'll buy in Tesco.

This makes 2 puddings (each about 2 pints / 1kg) which will comfortably feed 4 people with leftovers, or one giant pudding of doom ;) A pudding basin with a sealing lid makes the process easier.
( Mmmmmm )
