For a party, you can dress this recipe up by cutting the top off a large
pineapple, forming the cream cheese ball into an oval, putting the pineapple
top onto the cream cheese oval (so that it looks like a pineapple), and
slicing or chunking the remainder of the pineapple as nibbles or garnish
around the cheese ball.

.RZ "LIGHT CHRISTMAS PUDDING"
.KY XMAS ENGLISH
From \fIEnglish Country Cooking at Its Best\fR by Caroline Conran, Villard
Books 1985.PP
I haven't tried anything out of this book yet, so I can't guarantee this
recipe.
.IH
.IG "\(12 cup" "whole pieces of candied fruit" "75 g"

(untreated sun-dried if possible)

.IG "\(12 large or 1 small" "lemon"
(grated rind and juice)
.IG "2" "eggs"
.IG "3 Tbls" "brandy" "50 ml"
.IG "1 Tbls" "milk" "15 ml"
.IG "\(14 tsp" "freshly grated nutmeg"
.IG "\(12 tsp" "ground cinnamon"
.IG "\(12 tsp" "mixed spice"
.PH
.SK 1
Pour boiling water over the candied fruit and let it soak for 3-4 minutes,
then drain and cut into slivers.
.SK 2
Make fine bread crumbs with the wholegrain bread. Mix together the large
raisins, separated from each other with your fingers if necessary, sultanas,
candied fruit, ground almonds, bread crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the
butter or rub it into the dry ingredients with the fingertips, until it is
well mixed in. Add the grated lemon rind and juice.
.SK 3
Beat together the eggs, brandy and milk, whisking them well, then add them to
the bowl and mix.
.SK 4
Lastly, add the spices, using more or less according to your tastes.
.SK 5
Let everyone stir the pudding for good luck, then put the mixture into a
buttered
.AB "3 \(34 cup" "850 ml"
pudding mold. Push in silver charms or a silver coin.
.SK 6
Place a circle of buttered waxed paper on top of the mixture, cover the top
loosely with a round of kitchen foil and tie it on with a piece of string,
making a handle across the top to lift the pudding.
.SK 7
Steam the pudding for 4 hours.
.SK 8
On Christmas Day, steam the pudding for 1 hour and serve with a light brandy
sauce. Don't forget to pour heated brandy over the top and set it alight as
the pudding makes its grand entrance at the Christmas dinner table.
.NX
Some notes she mentions prior to the recipe.
.PP
Make this pudding a few days before Christmas or on Christmas Eve if you like,
it needs no maturing. First and highly important is the shopping. To make a
really good pudding you must go the the health food store and buy proper
golden Demerara sugar, untreated sun-dried muscatels or jumbo raisins -- these
are the sticky ones, not the ones you eat with almonds -- and untreated
sun-dried sultanas. Find an old-fashioned grocer who sells whole pieces of
candied orange, lemon, and citron peel and buy some of each -- do not buy
chopped candied fruit or worse still, those boxes of mixed dried fruit. It is
just not good enough for this pudding.
.PP
You will need ground almonds -- I make them myself, buying whole skinned
almonds and grinding them a bit coarser than the ones you buy already ground.
.PP
On the day you are going to make the pudding, buy or make a loaf of wholegrain
bread that has air in it -- you must not use a brick-like loaf or the bread
crumbs will not be a light as they should be.
