Inventing 'instant' Christmas Pudding (Making It Up As I Go – Without a Specific Recipe)

Inventing 'instant' Christmas Pudding (Making It Up As I Go – Without a Specific Recipe)

Today I'm feeling festive and I'm going to invent Christmas Pudding - already invented you say? That's never stopped me in the past. Normally Christmas pud is something that's made months in advance and matured. I'm going to make a delicious Christmas pudding that can be made and eaten the same day, just making it up as I go along (the extracted recipe from this dabbling is below).

Extracted recipe:
Ingredients:
25g unsweetened dried cranberries
50g dried mixed fruit (raisins, sultanas, candied citrus peel)
30g walnuts, chopped
1 apple - grated with peel (about 70g grated fresh apple)
50g soft brown sugar
50g shredded suet
Grated zest (outer orange rind) of one large orange - ideally unwaxed
100g self raising flour
1 slice of bread (about 40g) cut or blended into chunky crumbs
50g cooked chestnuts, chopped
8 glace cherries (about 40g), quartered
50g grated carrot
70g thick cut orange marmalade
55g black treacle (substitute honey with a small amount of molasses - I used carob extract)
3 level teaspoons ground mixed spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)
100ml dark ale, stout or porter (or wine, or fruit juice, or milk etc)
1 medium egg, beaten
Juice of half of a large orange

Method:
Mix everything together; place in a heatproof basin, cover with baking parchment or greaseproof paper, plus foil, tied in place with string. Steam for 2 hours (or 1 hour in a water bath in a pressure cooker).

Pretty much any of the above ingredients can be substituted for similar things. If you mix these sorts of things, in this sort of proportions, it will probably work.
