Grandma's Christmas Pudding image

Grandma made this pudding for the holidays. I never cared for it, but my dad loved it! This takes two days, and will tie up your oven for 7-8 hours! NOTE: This uses beef suet as an ingredient. Don't know of any substitute for it.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs raisins
1/2 cup almonds, chopped
2 ounces candied citron peel, finely chopped
2 cups apples, finely diced
1 cup brandy
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 cup suet, finely chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
3 eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Combine the raisins, almonds, citron, apples, and brandy in a bowl, and allow to sit overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Butter a 2-qt. pudding mold (or souffle dish).
  • Combine the fruit mixture with the remaining ingredients, one at a time. Mix well, and turn into pudding mold and cover tightly with parchment paper secured with cotton string.
  • Place a large roasting pan in oven on center rack. Place mold in pan and fill roasting pan with boiling water, halfway up sides of mold. Steam 7 to 8 hours, adding more water if necessary.
