      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

    Pudding Mix

  1. Soak fruit and nuts in sherry for a min 4 hours in a large bowl.

    Overnight is better. Mix dry ingredients together Closed lid 30seconds speed 4. Place in a large bowl and set aside.

    Mill Chia seeds Closed lid 10 seconds speed 9. add water and mix Closed lid 5 secs,  speed 8.  rest 5 minutes  

    Add dry ingredients and coconut oil Closed lid 30 seconds speed 7. remove from bowl and add to fruit mix.

    Mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon until well mixed.  For cake; Bake in the oven for 2hours on 140degrees. 

    For pudding; spoon onto baking paper in a large ball then wrap in calico and tie at top, suspend in large saucepan and simmer in water for 7 hours, keep filling with water every 20 mins.

    Make sure water doesn’t enter the top of the tired area of the calico as you don’t want water getting into the pudding. Larger puddings may take up to 10 hours.  Makes one 2.7kilo pudding which serves 8-10. 

    Serve with whipped coconut cream and or warm coconut custard.

    For Christmas cake line a square tin with baking paper and spoon in mixture. spread evenly. Bake for 2 hours on 160 degrees. allow to cool and slice.

Tip

Make sure the Sherry is reasonable quality as you don’t want to waste these expensive ingredients and use a cheap Sherry as it ruins the taste. 

Make sure when steaming the pudding that they don’t touch the bottom of the saucepan and have water around them at all times. 

Halving and doubling ingredients never seemed to be successful. Make up the mix first then add them together to make a larger pudding. 

Pudding is cooked when a skewer is inserted and removed cleanly.  

Don’t over cook the pudding. If anything it is best being cooked 90% and re-steaming for an hour or two on the day you serve it.

Once cooled, keep in the fridge wrapped in grease proof baking paper then cover with a damp tea towel turning daily as the pudding will seep and turning will keep the texture even.  

Eat within 2-3 weeks and remember there are no preservatives so it wont keep like a store purchased one

    Thinking I'd like to give this a go this Christmas, as we have recently started eating 'close to paleo' tmrc_emoticons.) The recipie mentions two different temperatures to cook the cake at 140 and 160. Can you please clarify which temperature to use?
