  2.  Stir the pudding (don’t forget to make a wish!) and press into the basin or mould. 
  3.  If you are using a basin, cover with a piece of baking parchment followed by tin foil and tie with string.
  4. Steam for 8 hours, keeping the water in the pan topped up with boiling water. 
  5.  Leave to cool and if you’ve use a basin, remove the baking parchment and foil and re-cover with new paper and foil. 
  6.  Keep the pudding in a cool place until Christmas day.
  7. On Christmas morning, steam the pudding for at least an hour before serving.

Christmas Pudding: Gluten Free Version:

Use 150g of ground almonds instead of the breadcrumbs and omit the Guinness and use 60ml of Brandy instead.
