Before you jump to Christmas Pudding recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Simple Ways to Be Healthy.

We all know that, in order to really be healthful, nutritious and balanced meal plans are important as are good amounts of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t often enough time or energy for us to really do the things we need to do. When our work day is finished, most people do not wish to go to the gym. People crave junk food, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy decisions doesn’t have to be a chore. If you keep going with it, you’ll get all of the required nutrients and exercise. Here are some ideas to be as healthy as possible.

Make smart choices when grocery shopping. If you make smart decisions when you are buying your groceries, you will be eating better meals by default. At the end of your day do you really want to deal with crowded grocery stores and long waits in the drive through line? You’re going to go home and cook what you have in the cupboards. Your home should be filled with healthy foods and ingredients. This way—even if you choose something a bit greasy or not as good for you as it could be, you’re still choosing foods that are better for you than you would get at the local diner or fast food drive through window.

There are a lot of things that factor into getting healthy. An costly gym membership and very restrictive diets are not the only way to do it. You can do little things each day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Being clever when you choose your food and activities is where it begins. Wanting to get in as much physical exercise as possible is another. Don’t overlook that health isn’t only about how much you weigh. It is more about making your body as sturdy as it can be.

  14. Prepare 1 green Apple, peeled cored and finely chopped
  15. Get 4 eggs
  16. Use 10 fl oz stout (I used Guinness) ##
  17. You need 4 Tablespoons brandy or dark rum, or substitute orange juice
  18. You need 2 tablespoons brandy or rum, for 'Flaming'. Optional
Instructions to make Christmas Pudding:
  1. Place first seven ingredients in a large bowl, mix thoroughly, you can use your hands for this, add the fruit, candied peel and nuts, mix well, add the Apple and grated peel. Mix well, use a wooden spoon now.
  2. In another bowl or jug whisk the eggs, add the stout and brandy / rum and whisk again.
  3. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture should be 'dropping consistency, I.e just drop off spoon. If too stiff add drop more stout or orange juice.
  4. It is traditional for all family members to 'Stir and make a wish' at this point
  5. Cover bowl with cling film or a damp cloth, leave overnight for flavours to develope, stir again.
  6. Grease two 2 pint pudding basins, fill to brim with mixture, pack it down if necessary, cover with a disc of greaseproof paper, cover with aluminium foil or a pudding cloth, tie with string below the rim,fold the foil or cloth over the top. If using a flat bottom basin you can place a disc of greaseproof paper at the bottom to ease tipping out the pudding, remove before step 11 ignition !
  7. You now have a choice, either steam the puddings for 8 hours, make sure they don't boil dry. Or, cook in a pressure cooker, cook without pressure for 30 minutes, then at full (15 lb) pressure for 90 minutes.
  8. When cooked and cooled remove foil/ cloth and paper and replace with fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, will keep 12 months or more if stored correctly.
  9. When required either steam for two hours or pressure cook at full (15lb) pressure for 20 minutes, allow to de-pressurise before opening.
  10. Remove foil / cloth and paper, place a large plate on top, invert and shake out pudding.
  11. Now the 'Best Bit, pour over two tablespoons of brandy or rum and carefully ignite. This step is optional.Allow to flame out, cut in to wedges and serve.
  12. Serve with your choice of custard, cream(whipped or runny) and/ or brandy butter.
  13. This pudding is very rich, so be aware when serving !
  14. Will post photo of 'actual' pudding when dished up on Christmas day (if I remember !)
  15. If you don't have a stale loaf, make breadcrumbs from fresh bread and dry, without colouring, in a low oven. *
