7-CUP STEAMED CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
An easy and VERY light Christmas pudding - for those that dislike the heavy dark puddings. However, this still has all the traditional Christmas pudding ingredients, but it is served with a delicious butterscotch sauce for a decadent twist! Moreover, all the family can now have their pudding and eat it, as this appeals to all ages! Steaming a pudding is SO easy - you just pop it on to gently steam, whilst you prepare the rest of the festive meal. You only have to remember to keep topping up the water from time to time. Serve warm with the hot butterscotch sauce and maybe a jug of single cream or brandy custard to help it along! Merry Christmas! N.B. This recipe was taken from the Christmas 2003 edition of BBC Good Food magazine, I have amended it slightly to personal taste. I have made this pudding every year since I first saw the recipe, and I have given this recipe out countless times!

Steps:
- For the pudding, empty the first six cups and the nuts, if using, into a mixing bowl with the spices, then stir in the milk and egg. Once well combined, tip into a buttered 1.5 litre pudding bowl.
- Cover with a double layer of buttered foil, making a pleat in the centre to allow the pudding to rise.
- Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl. Steam, covered with a lid, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Check the water level during cooking, topping up if necessary.
- If you are preparing this pudding ahead, remove the foil, let it cool slightly, then wrap in cling film and then fresh foil. It can be stored in a fridge for up to one week ahead of time. Or, freeze it for up to one month. Defrost overnight.
- If you are serving it immediately, unwrap and invert onto a deep plate.
- For the sauce, put everything in a pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Allow to bubble away for 2-3 minutes, still stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is pale caramel in colour and slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat. Pour the sauce over the pudding and decorate with the whole mixed nuts.
- Serve with a jug of fresh cream or brandy custard.
STEAMED CARROT PUDDING FOR CHRISTMAS
My mother's father was born in England (Victorian era) so she grew up with Christmas Pudding on their holiday menu here in the USA. She continued to love it all her life. I'm making no comment about my preferences because this is her recipe and she loved it -- perhaps you'll enjoy reading what a Christmas Pudding is like. I...

GRAMMY BILLINGS STEAMED CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH SHERRY SAUCE
This recipe goes back for many, many years. Grammy made this every Christmas and everyone loved it. It is easy to make as it doesn't have a lot of strange ingredients. It is served with a Sherry Sauce that is out of this world. It makes the pudding. FUNNY STORY---Our family does not drink anything with alcohol in it. My grammy was a stickler for this, but when it came to her hard sauce for the pudding, she reached for the bottle of sherry. When grammy needed a new bottle (which wasn't very often) she would go down to the "package store" (this what they called them then) and when she got near the store she would walk a little slower. After looking every way, to make sure that no one saw her, she would pop into the store to buy the sherry. Then she would do the same thing when she came out. She would rather have died than someone see her in a "package store". At any rate, everyone loved her Christmas Pudding and Sherry Sauce. She always made it with suet but I guess it could be made with any fat---butter, crisco, etc. I have hesitated to post this because of the fact that we don't drink, but we do like this and I wanted to save it with all my other recipes for my kids. I hope you will enjoy it, too.
