Top Tips:
The Christmas pudding mix can be made as early as three months in advance, so there’s plenty of time for preparation during the hectic Christmas period.
Any dry fruits of your preference can be used in this recipe. These should be gently steamed.
Don’t worry if you can’t get your hands on a Bundt mould; any baking tray is suitable and should be lined with greaseproof paper.
