The Plum Pudding Saga Continued

So, over the last few days I have been working on the Plum Pudding.  I know it was suppose to be done earlier in the month and let rest for weeks but that wasn't possible this year.

The final mixture
Working with my kids I mixed the dried fruit with the rest of the ingredients and put them in a pudding mold.  I then steamed it for seven hours.

The pudding mold in the steamer.
I then removed it from the steamer, wrapped it in foil and am now letting it rest till Christmas Day.  The recipe produced enough "batter" that I may be able to make on for New Years as well, but will see how the first one comes out before attempting it.  I ended up not making Merrick's sauce recipe.  Their were enough unanswered questions that I fell back to one I found online for Brandy Butter Hard Sauce.  I'll post the results and reviews after Christmas.  

I hope everyone has a Happy Christmas!
