Method

  1. Mix the dry ingredients, fruit and liquids separately, then mix all three together.
  2. Leave to stand overnight in a cool place.
  3. Add the mixture to a pudding basin, cover with greaseproof paper and then muslin.
  4. Boil in a saucepan on a metal ring for 6 hours, ensuring that the water level is about half way up the side of the basin.
  5. On Christmas Day, boil for a further 2 hours.

Serving suggestions

Serve with brandy/rum butter or sauce.

Chef's notes

  • I like to soak the dried fruit (except for the cherries) overnight in the brandy and stout first.
  • It is easier to chop the glacé cherries with scissors, rather than a knife.
  • Every so often, pierce the pudding with a skewer and feed it with more brandy.
