This is the third year Grannymar's pudding has made an appearance at our Christmas dinner. I had fruit I candied myself last summer when cherries, apricots, and plums were in season-now I'm afraid this will become tradition. I cannot imagine a Christmas pudding with anything less. I still have a couple stashed for St. Patrick's Day. I like a suet pudding, but this butter based pudding is unquestionably the best I've tasted-and this year's was over-the-top from the fruit. And moist-I don't know how that happened as I have a reputation for over-drying puddings in the oven, or not using enough booze to keep it hydrated. I dunno, it was like some magical alignment of the universe and pudding gods got together and decided 2011 was going to be the year we all remember as the best pudding, ever. Best. Pudding. Ever.
Thanks, Grannymar for your help with another perfect Christmas pudding.

Was this what you sent me? It was delish! Really good. I had it on Christmas Eve along with a no-egg eggnog (steamed milk w/brandy + brown sugar + nutmeg) while listening to jazz christmas carols & decorating my fake tree.
Sorry I didn't acknowledge it earlier: I've been working literally hours around the clock and I'm all dizzy.
That was it. Let me know if you want another-I made extra ;)
No need to apologise, I well remember the 70+ hour workweek ( at least I was getting paid for those hours then, unlike my current indentured position).
