Before you jump to Christmas Pudding recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.

We all understand that, in order to really be healthy and balanced, nutritious and balanced meal plans are important as are good amounts of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t always enough time or energy for us to really do the things we want to do. At the end of the day, most of us want to go home, not to the gym. People crave salty and sweet, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making wise decisions doesn’t have to be a pain. If you are conscientious you’ll get all of the activity and healthy food choices you need. Here are some hints to be as healthy as possible.

Climb stairs. Rather than using an elevator, climb up the stairs to the floor you live or work on. Obviously this isn’t as possible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a excellent way to get some exercise in. If you do work on a very high floor, why not get off the elevator a couple of floors earlier and walk the rest of the way? Most people will choose to be sluggish and take an elevator instead of getting exercise on the stairs. Even just a single flight of stairs, when travelled up or down a few times a day–can be a great improvement to your system.

There are all kinds of things that you can do to get wholesome. Not all of them necessitate fancy gym memberships or restricted diets. Little things, when done every single day, can do a great deal to enable you to get healthy and lose pounds. Being clever when you choose your food and activities is where it begins. Getting as much physical exercise as you possibly can is another factor. The numbers on the scale aren’t the only signal of your healthfulness. You need to help make your body as strong you can make it.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to christmas pudding recipe. To cook christmas pudding you only need 18 ingredients and 16 steps. Here is how you do that.

The ingredients needed to make Christmas Pudding:
  1. Use 8 oz shredded suet, vegetarian is fine
  2. Use 1 dessert spoon mixed spice
  3. Use 1/2 tea spoon grated nutmeg
  4. You need 1/4 tea spoon ground cinnamon
  5. Prepare 4 oz self raising flour
  6. Prepare 1 lb soft Brown sugar (I used muscovado)
  7. Use 12 oz white breadcrumbs (from stale bread) **
  8. Take 12 oz sultanas
  9. Provide 1 lb currants
  10. Provide 4 oz glace cherries, quartered
  11. Provide 2 oz chopped almonds
  12. Take 2 oz chopped candied mixed peel
  13. You need Finely grated peel (zest) of 1 orange and 1 lemon
  14. You need 1 green Apple, peeled cored and finely chopped
  15. Prepare 4 eggs
  16. Get 10 fl oz stout (I used Guinness) ##
  17. Take 4 Tablespoons brandy or dark rum, or substitute orange juice
  18. You need 2 tablespoons brandy or rum, for 'Flaming'. Optional
Steps to make Christmas Pudding:
  1. Place first seven ingredients in a large bowl, mix thoroughly, you can use your hands for this, add the fruit, candied peel and nuts, mix well, add the Apple and grated peel. Mix well, use a wooden spoon now.
  2. In another bowl or jug whisk the eggs, add the stout and brandy / rum and whisk again.
  3. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture should be 'dropping consistency, I.e just drop off spoon. If too stiff add drop more stout or orange juice.
  4. It is traditional for all family members to 'Stir and make a wish' at this point
  5. Cover bowl with cling film or a damp cloth, leave overnight for flavours to develope, stir again.
  6. Grease two 2 pint pudding basins, fill to brim with mixture, pack it down if necessary, cover with a disc of greaseproof paper, cover with aluminium foil or a pudding cloth, tie with string below the rim,fold the foil or cloth over the top. If using a flat bottom basin you can place a disc of greaseproof paper at the bottom to ease tipping out the pudding, remove before step 11 ignition !
  7. You now have a choice, either steam the puddings for 8 hours, make sure they don't boil dry. Or, cook in a pressure cooker, cook without pressure for 30 minutes, then at full (15 lb) pressure for 90 minutes.
  8. When cooked and cooled remove foil/ cloth and paper and replace with fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, will keep 12 months or more if stored correctly.
  9. When required either steam for two hours or pressure cook at full (15lb) pressure for 20 minutes, allow to de-pressurise before opening.
  10. Remove foil / cloth and paper, place a large plate on top, invert and shake out pudding.
  11. Now the 'Best Bit, pour over two tablespoons of brandy or rum and carefully ignite. This step is optional.Allow to flame out, cut in to wedges and serve.
  12. Serve with your choice of custard, cream(whipped or runny) and/ or brandy butter.
  13. This pudding is very rich, so be aware when serving !
  14. Will post photo of 'actual' pudding when dished up on Christmas day (if I remember !)
  15. If you don't have a stale loaf, make breadcrumbs from fresh bread and dry, without colouring, in a low oven. *

  16. You can use 5 fl oz Barley wine (if you can find it !) and 5 fl oz stout
