A much lighter pudding than a traditional Christmas pudding.
1 orange
1 small apple
115g butter
225g soft dark brown sugar
50g flour
2 eggs
1 pinch nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp baking powder
115g breadcrumbs
175g sultanas
175g raisins
115g currants
25g chopped mixed peel
25g chopped almonds
150ml rum
Serve the warm pudding with vanilla custard and garnished with edible berries, and perhaps a sprig of festive holly.
Chef's Secret
The classic pudding mould is hollow on the inside, allowing the cake to bake evenly. If you use a solid shape, extend the time up to 150 minutes.
