Christmas Pudding by Rawbaking

The Christmas pudding originated in the 14th-century  originally known as “frumenty”, which bears little resemblance to the dessert we know today.  Overtime, it was thickened with eggs, breadcrumbs, dried fruit and beer or spirits were added – and came to resemble something a bit more like a sweet pudding.

I use an old recipe given to me by friend, whose grandmother gave it to her. I put brandy into my Xmas pud and leave to `mature' overnight before slow cooking for 5 hours.

Here are 2 of my Xmas puds before they are cooked. The smell of brandy and mixed spice in the air is delicious!

Healthier Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola. I have been meaning to make my own granola for ages, so I am so pleased that at long last I did it and even better, it tastes really good! I like knowing what is exactly in my granola - no hidden sugars, which often happens with bought granola.  Here's the quick and easy recipe I used:- 1 Banana - mashed up 3 tbsp Maple syrup or honey 80g Peanut butter (or any nut butter) 210g mixed unsalted chopped nuts 160g rolled oats 100g dried fruit 1 tsp cinnamon Instructions:- Mix mashed banana, peanut butter & maple syrup/honey. Add chopped nuts, oats & cinnamon to the mix. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins in oven 170c/325f. Once cooled ad the mixed fruit. Store in air tight jar for up to 2 weeks. Delicious with Greek yoghurt!
