Apple and Carrot Christmas Pudding

I plan to try this recipe a little closer to christmas, I am just adding this now for those who might want to try a steamed pudding but find the idea of steaming to be to much. I always "steam" my puddings in 1 pint jars in the canner, they are steamed and sealed in one step. Also, I plan to try this with hemp oil, for the nutty flavor, omega 3 and 6 with no cholesterol. Will post how it turns out

Followed recipe as shown for the exception of adding Walnuts, I used 1/2 cup of Walnuts and 1/2 cup of raisins. The 2 quart pudding was over 1/2 gone before the party let up :) Thanks Added 12/27/2011 used 1/2 cup of honey instead of sugar, added 1/2 hour cooking time. Once again it was great

I love Christmas pudding, and this is a good one!

I followed the recipe. Steaming was new & fun. The texture was lumpy, soggy & dense. Only the cat liked it.

I followed this recipe to the T except for the raisins which I omitted. However, I did make a couple of substitutions. I do not have a steamer rack, so my grandmother made a ring of aluminum foil to hold it up, which is a trick she had seen on TV. Also, we used a Bundt pan instead of a mold. When I dumped it onto a plate, it flattened a little bit and it was really dense and moist. Is the pudding supposed to be like this?

This was my first time making a steamed pudding and personally I thought it was very good. I made two sauces to go with it, one was a vanilla/butter sauce from another pudding recipe, which I thought complimented it well, and the other was chocolate, which I didn't think went so well with it. My family was not as impressed as I was, but I would make it again.

Lovely and worth the effort! Very much like my grandmother used to make.

Used brown sugar, a tablespoon of ground flax for the nutty part and a tablespoon each of brandy and lemon juice. Smells amazing as it steams. I covered the top with a butter wrapper and parchment paper topped by a small plate. The way my Gran always steamed her puddings.

very good

Just like my Mom used to make at Christmas. This was a huge hit with everyone. Especially served with Rum sauce! This recipe is now going to be a tradition in our family too!
