There is only 41 days till Christmas and I am hoping that I’m not the only one who is going into panic by this thought? I feel I have every reason to panic though as this year is the first time I am ever throwing Christmas…*gulp* and for 6 people *double gulp*. If you are anything like me (especially when it comes to food) everything has to be just right. The stress is already kicking in so I am trying to get organised as early as possible. Silly things on my list includecounting the cutlery, yep, only moving into my own home this year I don’t think I quite have enough cutlery yet – if it’s your first Christmas too, check you have enough. I have got a table cloth, enough plates, bowls and candles ready, and now the Christmas pudding, Yipee! Being organised does help relieve the stress, so here’s a helping hand with a recipe with a twist I have created with Waitrose that you can make now and keep till Christmas (I wish I could do that with all the food prep). The ingredients list may look scary but this is such an easy peasy pudding to prepare, all you need is time. This fig, orange and almond pudding isn’t your ordinary traditional pudding, slightly more sticky, indulgent, with a burst of orange, and luxurious almonds. It is a great way to finish your Christmas meal. I decided on the flavours down to my picky boyfriend. Like my Dad, he isn’t over keen on dried fruit, especially currents. This time of year I know he loves oranges and Clementines and he is always snacking on almonds. When I was trying to think of traditions at Christmas time two things came to mind. Firstly, Figgy pudding. We all sing the song about Figgy pudding but figs have seemed to be forgotten about at Christmas time. Secondly, stir up Sunday, a tradition where you make your Christmas pudding and everyone in the family takes a turn to stir (apparently it’s the stirring and soaking that make a Christmas pudding). So there you have it, a traditional yet modern take on classic Christmas pudding. If this doesn’t take your fancy check out some more alternative Christmas Pudding ideas on the Waitrose page here. Not in the spirit of Christmas yet? Just wait until you smell this pudding in the making, it is divine. 5.0 from 1 reviews Save Print Orange, Fig and Almond Christmas Pudding Recipe Author:CookBakeEat Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves:6 Ingredients Instructions Orange, Fig and Almond Christmas Pudding Recipe was last modified: July 10th, 2017 by Emma Thompson
