Economical christmas pudding recipe

This recipe uses beer or stout in it and mixed fruit rather than individual amounts and brandy as in my other recipe.

4oz breadcrumbs
20z flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp mixed spice
40z suet (you can use margarine or butter as an alternative)
30z sugar
10z orange marmalade
2 eggs
1/4 pint milk, ale or stout
1lb mixed dried fruit


method

1. Combine flour,salt and baking powder,sugar,mixed spice,fruit,breadcrumbs and suet or melted butter or margarine.

2. Mix with the marmalade, eggs and ale or milk.

3. Stir thoroughly.

4. Steam for 2 to 3 hours in a saucepan (please see other recipe for full instructions on how to do this)

5. store in cool place.


reheating the puddings

either of these methods needs to be steamed for 1 and a half hours. you could use conventional pan method or use an electric steamer (which i cannot live without). just make sure either doesn't run out of water during the process.
