I've left my pudding a bit late this year. However i'm on it!
(Recipes for both my Christmas cake and Christmas pudding are posted previously here http://thatseasypeasy.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-prep-xmas-cake-pudding.html )
So, the other night i combined my ingredients for the pudding and let it sit overnight.
Fruit and flour mix Important ingredient! Ready to rest overnight
Today, i am steaming them. I have made one for a 2pt pudding bowl (which my recipe caters for) and i used up the leftover Guinness and made a smaller pudding.
It will take 6 hours but as we have a range, so it's great that the electricity is not on for 6 hours and i can leave them sit steaming away and not be too worried about them. Win win !
Here's a picture step by step for preparing for steaming:
Again, preparing the pots is crucial.

I love the smell around the house. I had a sneaky taste of the mix and it's fab!
Now, just to pass 6 hours........
