Before you jump to Christmas Pudding recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.

Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper amount of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t constantly enough time or energy for us to really do the things we want to do. When our work day is done, most people do not wish to go to the gym. A delicious, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a crunchy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). You will be happy to discover that becoming healthy doesn’t have to be hard. With practice you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some of the best techniques to be healthy and balanced.

Water is the best beverage out there. Soda and coffee, when ingested in moderation, aren’t that bad. Using them for your lone source of hydration, however, is dumb. When you pick out water more than other beverages you are helping your body stay very healthful and hydrated. Doing this helps you cut hundreds of calories out of your diet without your having to suffer through a bunch of gross diet food. Water is often the main element to successful weight-loss and healthfulness.

There are all sorts of things that you can do to get wholesome. Not all of them demand fancy gym memberships or restrained diets. You can do tiny things each day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Being smart about the choices you make each day is a start. Getting as much exercise as possible is another factor. The numbers on the scale aren’t the only signal of your lifestyle choices. It’s about making your body as powerful as it can be.

  13. Use Finely grated peel (zest) of 1 orange and 1 lemon
  14. Prepare 1 green Apple, peeled cored and finely chopped
  15. Prepare 4 eggs
  16. You need 10 fl oz stout (I used Guinness) ##
  17. Take 4 Tablespoons brandy or dark rum, or substitute orange juice
  18. Get 2 tablespoons brandy or rum, for 'Flaming'. Optional
Steps to make Christmas Pudding:
  1. Place first seven ingredients in a large bowl, mix thoroughly, you can use your hands for this, add the fruit, candied peel and nuts, mix well, add the Apple and grated peel. Mix well, use a wooden spoon now.
  2. In another bowl or jug whisk the eggs, add the stout and brandy / rum and whisk again.
  3. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture should be 'dropping consistency, I.e just drop off spoon. If too stiff add drop more stout or orange juice.
  4. It is traditional for all family members to 'Stir and make a wish' at this point
  5. Cover bowl with cling film or a damp cloth, leave overnight for flavours to develope, stir again.
  6. Grease two 2 pint pudding basins, fill to brim with mixture, pack it down if necessary, cover with a disc of greaseproof paper, cover with aluminium foil or a pudding cloth, tie with string below the rim,fold the foil or cloth over the top. If using a flat bottom basin you can place a disc of greaseproof paper at the bottom to ease tipping out the pudding, remove before step 11 ignition !
  7. You now have a choice, either steam the puddings for 8 hours, make sure they don't boil dry. Or, cook in a pressure cooker, cook without pressure for 30 minutes, then at full (15 lb) pressure for 90 minutes.
  8. When cooked and cooled remove foil/ cloth and paper and replace with fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, will keep 12 months or more if stored correctly.
  9. When required either steam for two hours or pressure cook at full (15lb) pressure for 20 minutes, allow to de-pressurise before opening.
  10. Remove foil / cloth and paper, place a large plate on top, invert and shake out pudding.
  11. Now the 'Best Bit, pour over two tablespoons of brandy or rum and carefully ignite. This step is optional.Allow to flame out, cut in to wedges and serve.
  12. Serve with your choice of custard, cream(whipped or runny) and/ or brandy butter.
  13. This pudding is very rich, so be aware when serving !
  14. Will post photo of 'actual' pudding when dished up on Christmas day (if I remember !)
  15. If you don't have a stale loaf, make breadcrumbs from fresh bread and dry, without colouring, in a low oven. *

  16. You can use 5 fl oz Barley wine (if you can find it !) and 5 fl oz stout
