My Delia pudding is steaming as I type - only 2 hours to go now. Mmm, hadn't thought about feeding it. I am feeding the Christmas Cake once a week though until early December.

I have been making Christmas Puddings for the last three years and I will never go back to buying them because they just taste fantastic.

I always follow Delia's recipie you can find it on this website and then I substitute some of the fruit and candid peel for more exotic fruit like dried pineapple, dried mango - any fruit you really want the more fruiter the better - it does seem that it might take a long time to cook but trust me you will be very happy with the results.

I make my puddings the last weekend in September and feed them with port or sherry once a week until Christmas day.

Good Luck!
