Method

  • step 1

    Soak the mixed fruit, cranberries and zests in the clementine and lemon juices for 3 days, stirring daily, keeping the bowl covered with a tea towel.

  • step 2

    Butter a 1-litre pudding basin and line the bottom with a greaseproof paper circle. Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in the flour, cocoa and spice, then stir in before adding the eggs. Stir in the apple, soaked fruits and liquid. Add the breadcrumbs, cherries, and chocolate chips, mixing thoroughly.

  • step 3

    Fill the basin with the mixture, then cover with a double thickness of greaseproof paper, pleated in the middle. Cover this with a layer of foil, pleated in the middle, then tie tightly with string.

  • step 4

    Place the pudding in a large saucepan on a trivet or upturned saucer so it doesn’t touch the bottom, then fill halfway up the basin with hot water. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan, then cook for 2 hrs.

Could this be cooked in individual serving sized bowls and if so how long is the cooking time

I have made this many times over the years, it is absolutely delicious. I don’t bother re- steaming it on Xmas day, I just put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes until it is warm through.

question

Hi, I realise this is an old recipe but I'm hoping you'll still reply.

How long will this pudding keep? and how would you recommend to store it. I'd like to make it in advance of Christmas day.

Many thanks

Hi, thanks for your question. This will keep for a week in the fridge or could also be frozen (for up to 3 months) if you need to make it ahead. Reheating instructions: On Christmas Day, remove from fridge two hours before reheating (or defrost in fridge for 24 hours if frozen). Boil or oven steam…

How long to cook this in an electric pressure cooker?

Thanks for your question. We have not tested this in a pressure cooker so cannot give recommendations. We'd suggest referring to the instruction booklet where there are often guidelines for different types of food.
