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

Everybody knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a nutritious and balanced diet and get a proper amount of exercise. Sadly, there isn’t often enough time or energy for us to really do the things we need to do. At the end of the day, most of us want to go home, not to the gym. People crave salty and sweet, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). You should be glad to learn that getting healthy doesn’t always have to be super hard work. If you are persistent you’ll get all of the activity and healthy food you need. Here are some of the best ways to be healthy and balanced.

Consider the stairs. Rather than riding an elevator, climb up the stairs to the floor you live or work on. While this will be difficult to do if you live on or if your job is on a seriously high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is totally do-able. Even if you do live or work on one of the higher floors, you can still get out of the elevator first and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. Most people will choose to be sluggish and take an elevator instead of opting for exercise 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 a whole lot of things that contribute to your getting healthy. Not all of them necessitate fancy gym memberships or restrained diets. You can do little things every day to improve upon your health and lose weight. Being smart about the selections you make each day is a start. Looking to get in as much physical exercise as possible is another. Don’t ignore that health isn’t only about just how much you weigh. You need to help make your body as strong as possible.

The ingredients needed to cook Christmas Pudding:

  3. Take 1/2 tea spoon grated nutmeg
  4. Take 1/4 tea spoon ground cinnamon
  5. Use 4 oz self raising flour
  6. Provide 1 lb soft Brown sugar (I used muscovado)
  7. Provide 12 oz white breadcrumbs (from stale bread) **
  8. You need 12 oz sultanas
  9. You need 1 lb currants
  10. Use 4 oz glace cherries, quartered
  11. You need 2 oz chopped almonds
  12. You need 2 oz chopped candied mixed peel
  13. Provide Finely grated peel (zest) of 1 orange and 1 lemon
  14. Get 1 green Apple, peeled cored and finely chopped
  15. Take 4 eggs
  16. You need 10 fl oz stout (I used Guinness) ##
  17. Get 4 Tablespoons brandy or dark rum, or substitute orange juice
  18. Provide 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
