McLaren's Christmas Pudding

Our family twist on the time-honoured recipe makes for a tasty pudding with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. We removed the stodgy suet, cut down the heavy flour and added a little extra butter. Zesty fruits, prunes, flaked almonds, cinnamon and nutmeg are then laced with French Brandy and Guinness Stout. Light, fluffy and utterly delicious, not only are these the best Christmas puddings around – but they’re also vegetarian-friendly.
