puddings

Well made the puddings. Had to go out half way though as I had forgotten the almonds but anyway it didn't matter as the mixture had to cool. I use a recipe from Good Food magazine from 2000 and it uses dried apricots, figs and prunes as well as all the normal raisins etc. You then have to simmer all the fruit in the alcohol - brandy and port so it gets all lovely and moist.

Here is a pic of the mixture in the saucepan.
