Directions
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 , I am a diabetic is this recipe suitable? I love the look of this recipe and am missing my dad’s Christmas puddings Want to try my hand at making a Christmas pudding just not sure what recipes to use as this is my first Christmas of being diabetic , do i have to use the almond, and basins which size
