Time to stir and make a wish

Outside it's been wet and dismal so, just the day to get the Christmas Pudding mix assembled. Though I say it myself, I do make a rather "posh" pud and every year I get repeat orders from 3 friends. As we are sharing our Christmas day with my sister and her man at home, it will be nice to taste my home made pudding. It will go on in the morning in the slow cook crock pot and sit out in the hall. Then I needn't worry about it.
I've left the spoon in the basin. Why not give it a virtual stir and make a traditional wish..

Did you see me give it a stir? looks nice, but i must say i don't like Christmas Pud, i just have the custurd,lots of custurd to make up for not having any pud

 

I didn't make a wish, i made one back along which came true so i'm happy

 

Made a wish Jenny..............bet it tastes yummy on Christmas Day!

 

Thank you guys and gals. it's a good old Delia Smith recipe with a few "embellishments.. Tomorrow, they will go into 3 x 2 pint basins( 8 to 10 persons) and 1 x 1 pint basin( 4 persons) with a buttered greaseproof inner cover and then a pleated foil outer cover.The 4 puddings will go into my biggest roasting pan filled as high as poss. with water( bain marie). They'll be in an aluminium "tent" which I will check about every 2 hours to make sure they are still in water and top up when needed. They will be in a slow oven for about 8 hours. They will be quite dark by then but seem to darken further as the weeks go by. They will sit on a high shelf in the unlit garage until needed. Each bowl is marked underneath with the relevant name and they return their bowls to me after Christmas - for the following year. They live up there on the garage shelf 'til next time.

 

Mmmmmm, I can almost smell it from here!!!! Thank you Jenny, I made a wish!!!!

I wished that the sixpence doesn't break my tooth again

 

...Jenny...made my wish

 

Not a huge pudding fan, but I made some festive wine from a dozen jars of mincemeat that was past its best last year - it might be ready this year but it was still a bit cloudy when I bottled it last month. Actually it was very cloudy. But tasted ok ; its certainly come out strong !

 

Hope it was the same as my real one then

 

I'm a little intrigued by this remark @Jiffy - care to tell?
Jenny

 

I thought that you not aloud to tell people what you wished for , well it came true and life is so so so so so much better
