How to Make Apple Prune And Peach Christmas Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except the almonds) ensuring they are well mixed.
  3. Grease and flour a 2-quart pudding basin (or similar).
  4. Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared basin.
  5. Cover the basin tightly with foil, then a lid or further layer of foil, ensuring a steam-tight seal.
  6. Place the basin in a larger pan or roasting tin. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the pudding basin.
  7. Bake for 330 minutes, adding more boiling water as needed to maintain the water level.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the water bath.
  9. Once cool, carefully remove the pudding from the basin.
  10. Serve warm with brandy butter, custard, or cream. Garnish with slivered almonds before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
