THE ESSENTIAL DESSERT
Fig & Ginger Christmas Pudding
Ingredients Fruit mixture 1 cup dried currants 1 ½ cup raisins 1 cup sultanas 1 cup dried figs, chopped 1 cup chopped glace fruit or mixed peel 1 cup brandy
Pudding 250 g butter, at room temp 1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar 4 eggs 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp dried ground ginger 1 tsp clove or mixed spice Zest of one orange, finely grated 2 cups breadcrumbs 1 cup plain flour 1 apple, grated 1/3 cup milk
Method The night before steaming the pudding, make the fruit mixture. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, stir well until all the fruit is coated by the brandy. Cover tightly and store overnight or up to a week. Grease (and line the base if required) your pudding basin/steamer (2 litre). Using a stand-mixer, beat butter and sugar together until smooth and lightened in colour. Add eggs, one at a time - beating in between additions. Add the spices and zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the fruit/brandy mixture, flour, breadcrumbs, apple and milk and mix to combine ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pudding steamer. Place a sheet of baking paper over the steamer, followed by a piece of foil. Secure with the pudding steamer lid. Trim away excess paper and foil. Ensure there is a good seal. Place the pudding steamer in a large saucepan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the steamer. Cover the saucepan with a lid and steam for 4 hours. Ensure to check every so often, to top up the water levels if needed. Stand the pudding for 30 minutes before turning out. Notes Pudding can be made up to 3 weeks in advance. Store tightly covered in baking paper, then foil, or alternatively freeze for up to 6 months. If the pudding is frozen, thaw for one full day. You can return the pudding to the steamer for 1 hour (following the recipe’s instructions), prior to serving. Serve pudding with custard, cream, or ice-cream.
