Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Mixed dried fruit
- 1 large Grated apple
- 100 grams Dark brown sugar
- 100 grams Self-raising flour
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 100 grams Butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Brandy or orange juice
Instructions
Grease a large microwave-safe pudding bowl or dish generously with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed dried fruit, grated apple, and dark brown sugar.
Add the self-raising flour, breadcrumbs, chopped nuts, cinnamon, mixed spice, and orange zest to the bowl and mix well.
In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and brandy (or orange juice).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The mixture should have a soft, dropping consistency. If it seems too thick, add a little more milk.
Spoon the mixture into the greased pudding bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Cover the bowl tightly with microwave-safe cling film or use a microwave-safe lid.
Microwave on full power for 10 minutes (for a 900W microwave). Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center—if it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If not, microwave in 1-minute intervals until fully cooked.
Let the pudding rest in the bowl for 5 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a serving plate.
Serve warm with custard, cream, or brandy butter for a festive treat.
