When we were little, every Christmas my Auntie Jane would make a “kids” Christmas pudding – in those days we weren’t too keen on traditional Christmas pudding so this used to be our version. I still make it every year at Christmas even though I am a grown-up – the brandy is just for adults! With cinnamon and ginger spices and topped with a rich glacé icing, holly and red chocolate candies, this is a great little festive treat.
