Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a proper Christmas pudding, brought flaming to the table to everyone's delight and alarm. This is a slightly lighter than usual pudding - it's still dark and (creepy word warning here) moist but without the donk-you-over-the-head booziness of some. We soak the dried fruit in Aussie liqueur muscat (aka Christmas pudding in a bottle) but skip the brandy - feel free to pour some over your pudding if you'd like it more overtly groggy. The other departure from tradition is that our puddings don't contain dried peel - there are enough peel-haters in our families to make its inclusion too contentious on what should be a day of peace and harmony. But in every other respect, this is a good, old-fashioned pudding, full of dried fruit, cinnamon and cloves, bound with breadcrumbs, brown sugar and butter. We slowly steam them for 5 hours, then let them mature in the coolroom.

Fresh product, suitable for freezing. Defrost fully before cooking. Once defrosted, cook and consume within 48 hours.
TO REHEAT: place the pudding in its basin, lid on, into a saucepan of hot water over low heat and leave to simmer gently for two hours - it's pretty forgiving if it needs to sit around for longer. Turn out of its basin onto a plate and flame with brandy if you'd like - or, for a less boozy version, serve with a sparkler.
