Before you jump to Christmas Pudding recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Simple Ways to Be Healthy.

We all realize that, in order to really be healthy and balanced, nutritious and balanced diets are important as are good amounts of exercise. Unfortunately, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle requires. Working out at the gym isn’t something people decide to do when they get off from work. People crave salty and sweet, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy choices doesn’t have to be a pain. If you are persistent you’ll get all of the activity and healthy food choices you need. Here are some very simple ways to get healthy.

Climb stairs. Walk up the stairs to where you live or work as opposed to using the elevator. Obviously this isn’t as possible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a fantastic way to get some exercise in. Even if you do live or work on one of the top floors, you can still get out of the elevator early and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. Lots of people choose the easy elevator ride instead of making an efforts on the stairs. That one flight of stairs—when taken a several times a day—can be just the extra boost that your system needs.

There are all sorts of activities that you can do to get healthy. An overpriced gym membership and very hard to stick to diets are not the only way to do it. Little things, when done every day, can do plenty to make it easier to get healthy and lose pounds. Make smart choices every day is a great start. A suitable amount of physical activity each day is also critical. Don’t overlook that health isn’t only about how much you weigh. You need to help to make your body as strong it can be.

  6. Prepare 1 lb soft Brown sugar (I used muscovado)
  7. Get 12 oz white breadcrumbs (from stale bread) **
  8. Use 12 oz sultanas
  9. Provide 1 lb currants
  10. Use 4 oz glace cherries, quartered
  11. You need 2 oz chopped almonds
  12. Use 2 oz chopped candied mixed peel
  13. Use Finely grated peel (zest) of 1 orange and 1 lemon
  14. Provide 1 green Apple, peeled cored and finely chopped
  15. Prepare 4 eggs
  16. Take 10 fl oz stout (I used Guinness) ##
  17. Take 4 Tablespoons brandy or dark rum, or substitute orange juice
  18. Prepare 2 tablespoons brandy or rum, for 'Flaming'. Optional
Steps to make Christmas Pudding:
  1. Place first seven ingredients in a large bowl, mix thoroughly, you can use your hands for this, add the fruit, candied peel and nuts, mix well, add the Apple and grated peel. Mix well, use a wooden spoon now.
  2. In another bowl or jug whisk the eggs, add the stout and brandy / rum and whisk again.
  3. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture should be 'dropping consistency, I.e just drop off spoon. If too stiff add drop more stout or orange juice.
  4. It is traditional for all family members to 'Stir and make a wish' at this point
  5. Cover bowl with cling film or a damp cloth, leave overnight for flavours to develope, stir again.
  6. Grease two 2 pint pudding basins, fill to brim with mixture, pack it down if necessary, cover with a disc of greaseproof paper, cover with aluminium foil or a pudding cloth, tie with string below the rim,fold the foil or cloth over the top. If using a flat bottom basin you can place a disc of greaseproof paper at the bottom to ease tipping out the pudding, remove before step 11 ignition !
  7. You now have a choice, either steam the puddings for 8 hours, make sure they don't boil dry. Or, cook in a pressure cooker, cook without pressure for 30 minutes, then at full (15 lb) pressure for 90 minutes.
  8. When cooked and cooled remove foil/ cloth and paper and replace with fresh. Store in a cool, dry place, will keep 12 months or more if stored correctly.
  9. When required either steam for two hours or pressure cook at full (15lb) pressure for 20 minutes, allow to de-pressurise before opening.
  10. Remove foil / cloth and paper, place a large plate on top, invert and shake out pudding.
  11. Now the 'Best Bit, pour over two tablespoons of brandy or rum and carefully ignite. This step is optional.Allow to flame out, cut in to wedges and serve.
  12. Serve with your choice of custard, cream(whipped or runny) and/ or brandy butter.
  13. This pudding is very rich, so be aware when serving !
  14. Will post photo of 'actual' pudding when dished up on Christmas day (if I remember !)
  15. If you don't have a stale loaf, make breadcrumbs from fresh bread and dry, without colouring, in a low oven. *

  16. You can use 5 fl oz Barley wine (if you can find it !) and 5 fl oz stout
