Time 4h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 pound raisins
1 pound currants
1 pound golden raisins
1 pound bread crumbs
1 pound brown sugar
8 ounces suet
4 ounces mixed candied citrus peel
4 ounces glace cherries, chopped
4 ounces almonds, chopped
1 lemon, grate rind
1 orange, grate rind
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 apple, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons ground almonds
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
Pinch salt
6 to 8 eggs
5 ounces maple syrup
10 ounces stout beer (bottle) or dark beer (recommended: Guinness)
5 ounces brandy
5 ounces sherry
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 sticks butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons brandy
1/4 cup cognac

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix fruits and dry ingredients first. Then mix with lightly beaten eggs and liquids. Grease the bottom of a bowl large enough to hold pudding and press mixture into it. Place waxed paper over the top and then foil over that, crimping it around the edges to keep firm. Either steam for 2 hours in pressure cooker with about 2 inches water or put in pan with water on the stove and steam for 4 hours. Keep checking water in pan to prevent burning. Store well wrapped for 3 to 4 months.
  • To make the brandy cream, add butter, sugar and brandy in a stand mixer and mix on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Steam for 1 hour before serving, then release the pudding mold into the center of a plate. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar. Warm 1/4 cup of cognac in a small pot. Cup the cognac in a large basting spoon until it flames, then pour the cognac over the pudding. Top with a dollop of the brandy cream. Slice and serve.

This pudding is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, creamy, and delicious. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pudding turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. I love that I can make it the day before and it's ready to serve when I need it.

This pudding was a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices next time to give it more flavor.

This pudding was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll add a little more cornstarch next time.

I'm not a big fan of pudding, but this one was actually pretty good. The texture was smooth and the flavor was rich.

This pudding was a disaster! It never set properly and tasted like flour.

This pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

Not a fan of this recipe. The pudding was too dense and the flavor was bland. Wouldn't recommend.
