🥄 Today is Stir-up Sunday: traditionally the day when home cooks ‘stir up’ their Christmas pudding mixture on the Sunday before the Advent season - and the countdown to Christmas - begins. This year, chefs in the Royal kitchens have shared their recipe for a traditional Christmas pudding. We hope that some of you enjoy making it in your own homes.  The recipe will make two 1kg puddings. Ingredients as follows: 🍇 250g raisins 🍇 250g currants 🍇 185g sultanas 🍊 150g mixed peel 🧈 250g suet or vegetarian suet 🍞 250g breadcrumbs 🌾 90g flour 🎄12g mixed spice 🥚 2 whole eggs 🍬180g demerara sugar  🍺 275ml beer 🍹 40ml dark rum 🥃 40ml brandy 🫖 If you don’t want to use alcohol, you can substitute for orange juice or cold tea. On Christmas Day, reheat your pudding in a bain-marie for 3-4 hours. Remove from the basin using a rounded knife or palette knife, flip out onto a plate, garnish or flambé and serve with brandy sauce and cream. . . . . . #StirupSunday #StirupSunday2020 #...
