Method
- 1
Grease a 1.2 litre pudding basin with the butter and line the base with a disc of baking paper.
- 2
Mix the suet, breadcrumbs, flour, sugar, dried fruit, peel, apple, orange zest and spices in a very large bowl.
- 3
Beat the eggs with the Guinness, whiskey and orange juice. Pour into the fruit and stir well. Everyone in the house can have a stir and make a wish.
- 4
Spoon into the basin, level the top and cover with a pleated layer of baking paper and foil. Tie tightly under the rim with string.
- 5
Put the basin on an upturned saucer in a large pan. Pour boiling water halfway up the basin, cover and steam for 4 hours, topping up the water as needed.
240 min - 6
Cool, re-wrap and keep somewhere cool. On the day, steam for another 1 hour 30 minutes, turn out onto a plate, warm the extra whiskey and set it alight to serve.
