Question Posted Wednesday November 23 2005, 7:05 pm
For Thanksgiving tomorrow, we want to make Cranbery Plum Pudding, but we've lost the recipe. Does anyone here have a recipe for cranberry plum pudding? Or know where I can find one? Don't say "google it."
Cream the butter, add sugar gradually, and eggs well beaten.
Mix and sift flour and baking powder and add alternately with milk to first mixture, stir in berries previously washed, turn into buttered mould, cover and steam three hours.
Serve with thin cream, sweetened and flavored with nutmeg.

But for future reference, "googling it" is it really quite helpful, and I don't quite see what you have against this ingenious method.
Ah, but who am I to judge?
allrecipes.com is the best way, though. I found a recipe for coconut rice on it. But then I burned the coconut rice. I hope your Cranberry Plum Pudding does not have a similar destiny. Happy Thanksgiving!! [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]

2 cups raisins
1 cup prunes, chopped
3/4 cup currants
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup Guinness stout
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup mixed candied citrus peel
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
8 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Pinch of sea salt
1. In a ceramic bowl, combine the raisins, prunes, currants, golden raisins, and Guinness and allow the mixture to steep, covered, overnight.
2. Next morning, place the Guinness-fruit mixture in a large bowl and combine with the flour, brown sugar, citrus peel, chopped almonds, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice.
3. In a smaller bowl, combine the bread crumbs, butter, eggs, and sea salt. Add this mixture to the ingredients in the large bowl and mix well.
4. Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart pudding mold or a heat-proof bowl. Spoon the batter into the mold and cover with a lid or with buttered parchment or aluminum foil tied onto the bowl with string.
5. Place a rack in a deep soup pot with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the mod when it’s set on the rack. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat and steam pudding for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Allow it to cool until just warm, then unmold.
6. Serve decorated with sifted confectioner’s sugar and a sprig of holly, or with a splash of warm brandy (light it for a fabulous flaming effect!), or with hard sauce, or surrounded by greens with a lit candle on top.
