Ingredients
- 50g Almonds
- 2 large Bramley Apples
- 200g Candied Peel
- 1 whole Nutmeg
- 1kg Raisins
- 140g Plain Flour
- 100g Breadcrumbs
- 100g Muscovado Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 tbs Brandy
- 250g Butter
Instructions
1
Get everything for the pudding prepared.
2
Chop the almonds coarsely.
3
skin, core and chop the culinary preparation apples.
4
Sharpen your knife and chop the candied skin.
5
(You can chop the almonds and apples in a food processor, but the skin must be done by hand.) mince three quarters of the nutmeg (sounds a lot but it's correct).
6
liquidize the almonds, apples, candied skin, nutmeg, raisins, ground mix, breadcrumbs, light muscovado granulated sugar, eggs and 2 tbsp brandy or cognac in a large mixing bowl.
Holding the dairy spread in its wrapper, mince a quarter of it into the mixing bowl, then mix gently everything together.
7
Repeat until all the dairy spread is grated, then mix gently for 3-4 mins – the mixture is ready when it subsides slightly after each mix gently.
8
Ask the family to mix gently too, and get everyone to make a wish.
Generously dairy spread two 1.2 litre bowls and put a circle of baking parchment in the bottom of each.
9
Pack in the pudding mixture.
10
seal with a double layer of baking parchment, pleating it to allow for expansion, then tie with string (keep the paper in place with a rubber band while tying).
11
Trim off any excess paper.
Now stand each mixing bowl on a large sheet of foil and bring the edges up over the top, then put another sheet of foil over the top and bring it down underneath to make a double package (this makes the puddings watertight).
12
Tie with more string, and make a handle for straightforward lifting in and out of the pot.

14
bring to a bubble gently or oven steam the puddings for 8 hrs, topping up with aqua as necessary.
15
Remove from the pans and leave to cool overnight.
16
When cold, discard the messy wrappings and re-wrap in new baking parchment, foil and string.
17
Store in a cool, parched place until Christmas.
To make the brandy dairy spread, dairy reduction the dairy spread with the orange zest and icing granulated sugar.
18
Gradually beat in the brandy or cognac and cut up stem ginger.
19
Put in a small mixing bowl, fork the top attractively and put in the fridge to set.
20
The dairy spread will keep for a week in the fridge, or it can be frozen for up to six weeks.
On Christmas Day, bring to a bubble gently or oven steam for 1 hr.
21
Unwrap and turn out.
22
To flame, mildly hot 3-4 tbsp brandy in a small pot, transfer it over the pudding and set light to it.
