Have to order it as no one has suet anymore.
Christmas pudding with suet. He sometimes shreds it, otherwise, i just. 4 cups mixed dried fruit. Web suet is the raw, hard fat of beef, lamb or mutton found around the loins and kidneys.
It has all the flavors of a traditional christmas pudding without any animal products or eggs! Vegetarians could use vegetarian suet, which is available in many uk supermarkets. Web on christmas day:
With christmas approaching, i decided to dust the recipe off and give it a try. Put the christmas pudding in the steamer cover and leave to steam for 2hrs 15 mins. Suet has a melting point of between 45 °c and 50 °c (113 °f and 122 °f) and congelation between 37 °c and 40 °c (98.6 °f and 104 °f).
Finely grate in the orange zest, then mix all the remaining ingredients together, except for the golden syrup. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Fill a saucepan quite full with boiling water, put it on the heat and, when it comes back to the boil, place a steamer on top of the pan and turn it down to a gentle simmer.
Web typically, a traditional christmas pudding is a rich, moist steamed sponge pudding containing a mixture of dried fruits and peel, grated fruit and zest, spices and a combination of eggs, suet, flour and breadcrumbs to hold it all together. I prefer to use vegetable suet as beef suet (the fat around the kidneys of beef cattle) has a taste that i'm not keen on. Serve in slices with egg custard or whipped cream, or brandy butter.
Combine dried and candied fruits in a bowl with sherry, mix to combine well and stand for 3 hours or overnight. It steams for 3 hours and then goes into the fridge (or a cold basement, in my grandma’s house!) for at least a month. Top with foil and secure with butcher’s twine.
