That do be it..
"Mrs. Cratchit left the room alone—too nervous to bear witnesses—to take the pudding up and bring it in.
Suppose it should not be done enough! Suppose it should break in turning out! Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the back-yard, and stolen it, while they were merry with the goose—a supposition at which the two young Cratchits became livid! All sorts of horrors were supposed. Hallo! A great deal of steam! The pudding was out of the copper. A smell like a washing-day! That was the cloth. A smell like an eating-house and a pastrycook’s next door to each other, with a laundress’s next door to that! That was the pudding! In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit entered—flushed, but smiling proudly—with the pudding, like a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half of half-a-quartern of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top." Dickens’ A Christmas Carol | ||

Here's what we brought to the Feast of the 7 Fishes After some research and shopping for authentic candied peels, sugar plums and brandy:
Pen Vogler’s Christmas Pudding

85 grams of plain flour
Pinch of salt
170g Veg or beef Suet
140g of brown sugar
1 teaspoon mixed spice

170 grams of raisins
170 grams of currants
55 grams of cut mixed peel
1 apple
3 eggs, beaten
140ml of brandy
Butter for greasing basin
Boil/steam for 3 ½ to 4 hours to make sure carbs caramelize
