Here's our tried and tested recipe from Gelf, our Executive Head Chef. INGREDIENTS 250g raisins 250g sultanas 125g currants 90g candied peel chopped 150ml cider brandy 75ml dark stout 4 medium eggs 70g dark muscovado sugar 70g plain flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ tablespoon mixed spice ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon 250g suet Pinch of salt 75ml milk 70g flaked almonds 250g fresh breadcrumbs Zest and juice of 1 lemon Place the dried fruit and chopped peel into a bowl and cover in the brandy and stout. Cover with cling film and leave to soak overnight. Beat the eggs and sugar together and then fold in the flour, baking powder, spices, suet and salt. Add the milk, soaked fruit and almonds to this mix then fold in the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and juice. Place the mixture into a heatproof pudding basin, covered with a double layer of greaseproof paper and a layer of foil. Tie securely with string, and making a handle at the top. Steam or boil for around four hours, making sure not to undercook the pudding as the more you cook it, the darker the pudding you will get. Once ready, allow the pudding to cool and then remove the greaseproof and foil from the pudding basin and replace with new, making another string handle. Cover and keep in a cool place away from the light, for a minimum of three weeks.  To heat your pudding through on Christmas Day, steam or boil for a further 2 hours. Spending time with loved ones is what make Christmas such a special time, so why not get everyone together for a Festive Feast? Make this your tastiest Christmas yet. There are still a few spaces left on some of our Christmas courses so you'll have all the culinary know-how this Christmas.  FIND OUT MORE rivercottage.net/christmas
