4064.0. "Pudding for Christmas (not christmas pud)" by CHEFS::CORFIELDM () Wed Nov 22 1995 06:17

    
    Well, Christmas is nearly here and this year we are doing things
    slightly differently (for us anyway!).
    
    We are having Beef Wellington the dinner this year and I have been
    given the task of making pudding.  The only problem is I have no idea
    what to do.  
    
    Anybody got any ideas?  It must have no alcohol as my mum and niece
    dont like it and preferably something light so that there is still room
    for tea!
    
    Thanks in advance
    Marie

	How about an Australian frozen Christmas pud? (It's hot here at Xmas so my family often has this - it's like an icecream gateau, in the shape of a pud). I can ask my mother for the recipe, if you like. ~S~

	Hi! If you want I have a recipe for poor mans pudding. It's very sweet. If your family has a sweet tooth this is the recipe. Let me know if you are interested, either here or by mail Cheers. Eric

Stir the brandy into the cranberries, mango, apricots and raisins, leave to soak. beat the cream and 15g/1/2 oz of the sugar until thickened. Transfer to a rigid container and freeze, stir every 30 minutes for 3 hours until almost set. Mix together the remaining sugar, breadcrumbs, pine nuts and cinnamon and spread over a baking tray. Bake for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and caramelised. Cool and break up into small pieces. Fold the soked fruit and breadcrumb mixture into the ice cream with a metal spoon until well mixed. Freeze for 2 hours or until set. Decorate with the cranberries and bay leaves. This should keep for up to 3 months, leave to soften before serving.
