Make steamed puddings (read all 5 entries…)

Almost October  — 11 months ago

The plan is to make Christmas puddings next month and let them steep in whatever’s on hand. I made puddings with all that candied fruit before, but I’m thinking this year I should make carrot puddings- think of that!- like dense carrot cakes with pecans, dates, and a cointreau-laced creme anglaise.

Sounds wonderful

I make traditional Christmas Puddings and cook them in the slo-cooker, which seems to work really well. Your carrot version sounds mouthwatering. Eleven months till Christmas is too long to wait, maybe I could try it for Easter. Do you have a specific recipe or would you adapt/experiment with a traditional Christmas Pud recipe?
