    Just steaming as I write, the last step where you add the fruit and set for 6 seconds reverse speed 6 ... it breaks up fruit too much so would recommend lower speed or just wooden spoon , also batter was thinner than I expected . Let’s see how it turns out!

    Vez: Hi. The blueberries and apricots would be dried, fresh fruit would make the pudding too wet.

    Great recipe, although does taste a bit too alcoholic & wet if not allowed to rest/dry before eating.

  • We added slivered almonds

    Submitted by teachermrsh on 25. July 2015 - 16:02.

    We added slivered almonds when we added the fruit and we used a mixed fruit mix. You saved the day for Christmas in July. Didn't have time to soak for a week, so left brandy in for about 30 minutes. Easy recipe.
