Steps to make Christmas pudding:

1. Soak fruits overnight in brandy if using your own mix. I soaked them in 80 ml of brandy just as I start getting mix ready for extra alcohol..
2. Mix flour, baking powder, fresh breadcrumbs, sugar, spices, lemon zest, suet, apple and almonds in big bowl..
3. Add fruit and remaining juices to the flour mix.
4. Beat the eggs and add to mixture. Stir to mix well..
5. Prepare pudding basin: butter (use veg spread if preferred) a 1.2litre basin. Put disc of baking paper in the base.
6. Pour mixture in prepared basin.
7. Cover with a double sheet of baking paper and add two layers of foil on top. Tie all the layers with a secure knot and arrange handle to be able to lift pudding.
8. Place pudding in a large pan(I use my maslin pan which I use for preserves) and fill halfway with water. Cover with a lid and steam for 6 hours..
9. You may have to top water up every now and again as it evaporates..
10. After steaming lift pudding from the pan and let it cool completely. Remove foil and baking parchment and cover with new sheets..
11. Store in cool dark place for up to 6 weeks..
12. To reheat steam for 2 hours as before until piping hot. Invert pudding into large plate to serve.
13. I like mine with brandy sauce but everyone else at home will have it with custard instead..
