Step 1: You will need ….
500 g currants
500 g raisins
500 g golden raisins
500 g bread crumbs
500 g brown sugar
250 g suet
120 g mixed peel
120 g glace cherries, chopped

grated rind of 1 lemon
grated rind of 1 orange
1 carrot, grated
1 apple, grated
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp mixed spice
6 eggs
300 ml Guinness
a pinch of salt
a knob of butter for greasing
5 Tbsp brandy - optional
1 large bowl
1 fork
1 wooden spoon
1 glass bowl
1 circle of parchment paper, cut to size of bowl
1 square of tinfoil
1 wide saucepan
1 ladle
1 jug

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
Into the large bowl, put the following: raisins, golden raisins, currants, breadcrumbs, suet, brown sugar, mixed peel, grated carrot, glace cherries, lemon peel, orange peel, chopped almonds, mixed spice, flour, grated apple and the pinch of salt and with your wooden spoon, mix thoroughly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3: Beat the eggs
Crack all six eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with your fork.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4: Add the eggs and Guinness
Pour the eggs and Guinness over the dry mix and combine well with your hands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5: Grease the bowl
Coat the inside of the glass bowl with the knob of butter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6: Transfer
Put the pudding mix into the bowl, pressing it down lightly and giving a final pat to make it level.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 7: Cover and seal
Place the circular piece of parchment paper over the mix, gently press it down and around the edges, follow by the tin foil and seal tightly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 8: Make a Bain Marie
Place the bowl into the saucepan and pour in enough water to fill up to three quarters making a Bain Marie, which means a water bath, or to cook by water.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 9: Cook the pudding
Place the saucepan onto a high heat and bring the water to the boil. Once boiling turn down to a gentle simmer and allow to simmer for roughly 4 hours. It's very important that you keep topping up the water, which will be approximately every hour. Remember to bring it back to the boil and then turn it back down to a simmer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 10: Remove
Remove the pudding from the heat after this time and take off the tin foil and the sheet of parchment paper. Place a large plate on top of the bowl and using cloths to grip the plate better, very carefully flip the pudding onto the plate to sit upright.
Tip
The great thing about this recipe is that it can be made two months in advance and it will only improve the flavour! If you do, store it in a cool, dry place.

Your Christmas pudding is now ready to serve! As an optional extra ladle over some brandy, along with some delicious Videojug brandy butter! The recipe can be found here on the Videojug web site! Merry Christmas.
