People of LJ, would any of you care to recommend your fav recipe?
I asked this question the other day on an internet community full of good cooks, but unfortunately the first response was a bit of a thread-killler... (someone felt the need to tell me that I have left it too late to make a Christmas pudding). Yeah... thanks, Mrs Beeton.
So please accept that I am not organised enough to make my Xmas pudding in the summer, hence I shall be making mine on Stir Up Sunday along with (apparently) Gill Archer and the rest of the culinary sluggards in the UK. I've never managed to make one earlier than this, but surely 5 weeks of maturing is better than nowt, eh?
So would any of you kitchen gimps care to share a fav recipe? My cook books and the interweb are offering me billions to choose from. I think last time I used a sleb chef recipe which had quite a lot of orange zest and was rather nice and boozy, but I forget whose it was.
Suggestions so far include a very old recipe with beer (Victorian, I think) which is quite tempting, and good old Delia. (Have any of you tried Delia's?) I'm also considering the one in the December Delicious Magazine which claims to be lighter than usual. But any other recs would be v.welcome.
