CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING
I grew up eating plum pudding at Christmas. We used to scour three states to buy the canned stuff before it got sold out. Then I was given this recipe by a friend, and commercial plum pudding has not crossed my lips again. It is well worth the time it takes to gather the ingredients and make the pudding.

- Combine suet, flour, brown sugar, breadcrumbs, allspice and salt.
- Beat eggs and add to flour mixture.
- Stir brandy and lemon juice into fruit mixture.
- Stir fruit into batter.
- Pack into greased, heat-proof bowl (or several smaller bowls, or straight-sided canning jars for gifting).
- Steam for 3-6 hours (depending on size of container) until the dough portion of the pudding is firm (test with toothpick, like a cake).
- Cool and sprinkle with more brandy. Cover tightly and refrigerate until Christmas. (can be made far in advance).
- To serve, steam again until warm, turn out onto a heat-proof plate, and if you are really adventurous, pour brandy over pudding and light!

MOIST PLUM PUDDING
This recipe has no plums in it. It is tweaked from quite alot of other plum pudding/christmas pudding recipes. It is rather easy to make once you gather all the ingredients together. Suet is not used as it's not easy to get where I'm from. Coke and juice is used instead of brandy/alcohol. It turned out rich, dark, moist and has a rather festive aroma!

Steps:
- Soak the Mixed fruits in the juices of the orange & lemon for at least 6 hours or best overnight).
- Butter the suitable mould/basin all round. It is better to line the bottom of the mould with greaseproof paper to ensure the pudding does not stick when un-moulded.
- Boil a pot (if possible with a lid) of water that could fit the mould/basin.
- Combine all the Dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Add in the Mixed fruits and mix well again.
- Add in the Wet ingredients and mix well again.
- Pour into the mould/basin. Cover with greaseproof paper which fits the size of the top of the pudding.
- Use aluminium foil and fold a pleat in the centre (to allow the pudding to expand while cooking).
- Cover the mould/basin snugly & secure it with a string.
- Boil on Medium flame for first half hour and then turn down the heat and simmer for 7 hours.
- Once cooked, leave it to cool slightly before unwrapping and un-moulding.
- Remove the foil and paper and turn the pudding out on a plate. It would still feel soft as it is hot.
- Once totally cooled, wrap it in cling film and foil and refrigerate it for at least 2 weeks or up to a month before cutting and eating.
- NOTE: You can either use any heat-proof basin/mould that resembles a pudding basin which fits into your pot of hot water.
- NOTE: Although I only used Mixed spice, you can use Orange Essence or Vanilla essence for preference.
- All the best!
