This makes 4 large.. they do freeze.

I do 3 eggs worth usually ie. 3/5ths of all quantities except I still do the one large apple and carrot and same qty of booze!

That makes 2 like the one I gave you and 1 slightly larger.

400g sultanas

400g currants

400g raisins

100g mixed peel (or mixed dried fruit to replace the first 4 ingredients)

400g brown sugar (less if preferred)

400g suet (less if preferred)

5 eggs

3/4 pint milk

125g self raising flour

300g fresh breadcrumbs

1 large carrot grated

1 large apple grated

Wine glass of spirits... we have used brandy, peach brandy,apricot liqueur .. as you like

2 teaspoons mixed spice

• Mix all ingredients together
• Divide into pudding basins
• Cover with pleated greaseproof paper and aluminum foil.....or basin lid (not air tight).
• Steam for 5 hours and then 1 hour on day of serving. Or in pressure cooker for approx 2 hours or so  (I can do 2 small ones at once one on top of the other) and reheat in microwave on the day.
• If frozen , let thaw before steaming or reheating on the day.
