This Christmas Pudding is absolutely delicious. Sadly, people are governed by their childhood experience of Christmas Pudding, most having tried quite heavy and bitter tasting puddings that lingered on the taste buds for days! Not this one, I have developed my recipe over the past 15 years, adjusting it slightly year on year, I have managed to achieve a rich and dark looking pudding that is light, fruity and not too sweet. It is crammed with figs, sultanas, raisins, freshly milled spices, Guiness and Amaretto liqueur. I also use Medjhool dates, they are sticky and toffee-like, not like those really dreadful 'cardboard' ones that used to sit around in the lounge from Christmas to Easter until they were un-ceremoniously dumped into the kitchen pedal-bin along with the strawberry and orange cream Cadbury's Roses!
I serve the pudding with an Amaretto sauce simply made with milk, cream, cornflour, sugar and a really hefty measure of Disaronno, fantastico!
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la...
