A traditional, long-life Christmas plum pudding that's deliciously dark, rich and fruity

Provided by Jeni Wright

Categories     Dessert, Dinner, Lunch

Total Time 8 hours

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

85g self-raising flour
¾ tsp ground mixed spice
140g shredded suet
85g fresh white breadcrumb
140g dark muscovado sugar
140g raisin
140g sultana
140g currant
25g mixed candied peel , chopped
finely grated zest and juice of 1 small orange
finely grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon
25g glacé cherry , chopped (optional)
1 small carrot , grated
3 tbsp sweet stout (we used Mackeson)
2 tsp black treacle
brandy , to feed

Steps:

  • Stir the flour, spice, suet, breadcrumbs and sugar in a large bowl. Tip in the fruit, peel, cherries (if using) and carrot, then stir well to mix. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into a buttered 1.2 litre pudding bowl (with a buttered disc of greaseproof paper in the bottom) and press down well, leaving room for the pudding to rise a little during steaming. Cover with a circle of buttered greaseproof paper, then cover with pudding cloth or foil and tie securely with string.
  • Stand the bowl on an upturned saucer in a saucepan and half fill with boiling water. Cover tightly and steam for 8 hours, topping up the water as necessary. Leave to cool in the pan.
  • Remove the pudding from the pan and discard the cloth or foil and paper. Then cover with fresh greaseproof paper and cloth. Store your pudding in a cool, dry place until required - you can feed it with a few tablespoons of brandy once in a while. Before serving, steam again for 2-3 hours.

PLUM PUDDING | MARTHA STEWART



Plum Pudding | Martha Stewart image

Plum pudding can be made anywhere from a few weeks to a year in advance and allowed to ripen in a cool place. It must be steamed 2 hours before serving. Leave it in hot water until ready to serve with hard sauce. This recipe is from "Entertaining," by Martha Stewart.

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Serves 10 to 15

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 pound dried currants, plumped with 2 tablespoons cognac and enough hot water to cover
1/2 pound dried raisins, finely cut
1/4 pound candied kumquats, finely diced
1/4 pound glazed orange peel, finely diced
1/4 pound glazed lemon peel, finely diced
1/4 pound citron, finely diced
1/2 pound walnuts, finely chopped
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon mace
1/2 pound ground suet
3 slices thin-sliced bread, soaked in 1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup black currant jam or preserves
1/4 cup brandy or cognac
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup cognac
Hard Sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Oil a 2-quart steamer mold or pottery bowl very well with vegetable oil and let it stand as you make the pudding.
  • Combine the fruits and nuts in a large bowl. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and spices into the fruit and nuts. Add the suet, bread, brown sugar, eggs, and jam and blend well. Beat with a wooden spoon to lighten the mixture. Pour into mold. Cover with circle or parchment paper and put on a rack in a large kettle with enough water to come halfway up the sides. Cover and keep water boiling, replenishing as necessary. Steam for 6 hours.
  • Uncover pudding and pour brandy over it; put a piece of waxed paper over pudding; replace parchment and set in a cool place or on low shelf of refrigerator to ripen.
  • To serve, steam for 2 more hours and invert on a serving platter. Add the 1 teaspoon sugar to the cognac, heat, pour over warm pudding, and flame with a match. Serve with hard sauce.

CHRISTMAS PUDDING | JAMIE OLIVER CHRISTMAS RECIPES

    1. Grease a 1.5 litre pudding bowl with butter.
    2. Destone your dates, then, by hand or in a food processor, finely chop the flesh with the apricots, pecans, ginger and rosemary leaves. Place it all in a mixing bowl with the cranberries, raisins, suet, flour, breadcrumbs and milk. Crack in the egg, finely grate in the clementine zest, squeeze in the juice and mix it all together really well.
    3. Tip the mixture into the greased bowl and cover with a single layer of greaseproof paper and a double layer of tin foil. Tie a piece of string around the bowl to secure them in place and make it watertight, then sit it in a large, deep saucepan and pour in enough water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl.
    4. Bring the water to the boil, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce to a simmer for 4 hours. Check the water regularly, and keep topping it up with boiling water, if needed.
    5. When the time’s up, lift out the bowl, remove the foil and paper, then carefully turn the pudding out on to a plate ready to serve, or leave to cool and reheat just before you need it.
    6. You can either drizzle it with golden syrup and a swig of Bourbon – gorgeous – or be a bit more flamboyant and gently heat a good few swigs of Bourbon just to warm it, then strike a match to the pan (stand back!), let it flame, and carefully pour it over your pudding.
    7. Present it to your guests and sing some Christmassy songs, then when the flame subsides drizzle with golden syrup. Serve with cream, custard or even ice cream.

CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
This is the perfect recipe to prepare ahead since the flavor improves as the pudding "ages." Our luscious, creamy Hard Sauce, made with rum or brandy, is the ideal accompaniment.

  • Heavily grease two 1-quart heat-safe bowls. Cut 2 pieces of foil, 1 to cover top of each bowl, allowing 1-inch overhang. Grease 1 side of each piece of foil; set aside. Prepare Plum Pudding: In large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients. Add prunes, dates, raisins, walnuts, apple, and lemon peel to flour mixture. With hands, thoroughly toss mixture until fruits are well coated and separate. Set aside. In another large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine with brown sugar. Increase speed to high; beat until creamy, about 1 minute. At medium speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in buttermilk, molasses, and rum (mixture will look curdled). With spoon, stir margarine mixture into flour mixture until blended. Spoon batter into prepared bowls; cover with foil, greased side down. Tie foil tightly in place with string around outside of bowls so pudding surface does not get wet from steam. Place a metal cookie cutter into each of two 5- or 6-quart saucepots. (The cookie cutters are used as trivets so bowls remain elevated during steaming.) Pour in water to measure 1 1/2 inches. Set bowls on top of cookie cutters. Cover saucepots and heat water to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer puddings about 2 hours or until toothpick inserted through foil into center comes out clean. Meanwhile, prepare Hard Sauce: In small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter until smooth. At low speed, gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until creamy. Beat in rum or brandy with vanilla. Spoon into 1 or 2 decorative crocks or bowls; cover tightly and refrigerate up to 1 month. To serve, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes or until soft enough to spread. When puddings are done, cool in bowls on wire racks 5 minutes. Remove foil; loosen puddings with small spatula or knife and invert onto serving dishes. Serve hot with Hard Sauce. If making ahead for gifts, cool puddings in bowls completely, then wrap well and refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 3 months. To serve, re-steam pudding (thawed, if frozen), covered, as directed in step 5, for 1 hour.
