      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

  1. This recipe has been handed down through generations of my family. It is a perfect recipe to convert to Thermomix as the secret to its success is chopping the dried fruit very finely, which results in a dark, moist pudding.

     

  2. Weigh each of the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 5. Set aside.

     

  3. Place lemon zest into mixing bowl and grate 10 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add apple and carrot and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Set aside.

     

  4. Place raisins and currants into mixing bowl. Chop 15 secs/speed 7. Set aside. Place sultanas and mixed peel into mixing bowl and chop 10 secs/speed 7. Set aside.

     

  5. Place eggs, lemon juice, almond essence and golden syrup into mixing bowl and mix 5 secs/speed 6.

     

  6. Add all ingredients back into the mixing bowl and combine Counter-clockwise operation/20 secs/speed 6. The mixture should just drop off the spatula. Add a dash of milk if too dry and mix for a few more seconds.

     

  7. Grease one large or two medium pudding bowls and line with a circle of baking paper to just cover the bottom. (Check your pudding bowl will fit in the Varoma first.) Spoon in mixture and level top. Cover with baking paper over top of the pudding bowl and then with a sheet of foil, pressing around the lip of the bowl so water does not drip into the pudding. Secure with string.

     

  8. Place 1500g water into mixing bowl, put Varoma into position. Steam pudding for 3 hours/Varoma/speed 1. Top up water levels halfway through.

     

  9. On Christmas morning steam for a further 2 hours until piping hot. Serve with Thermomix custard and whipped cream.
