Apple, Prune and Peach Christmas Pudding image

I found this in a supermarket magazine. I fully intended to make this for Christmas, but work and other commitments conspired against me and I haven't made it. My plan when I made it was to change the cup of currants to a cup of cranberries and throw in some slivered almonds as an extra. The grams v's cups mix up is because prunes and peaches come in this size pack.

This pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good dessert. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This pudding is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can make it a few days in advance and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.

I'm not a fan of dried fruit, but I still really enjoyed this pudding. The apples and peaches add a nice sweetness and tartness that balances out the prunes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pudding didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as light and fluffy as I would have liked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pudding didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dense and the flavors didn't come through as much as I would have liked.
