Dish: 1.3 litre (2
greased
1. Place apple and carrot in a large bowl.
Cover and cook on HIGH power for 5
mins. Beat well to make a thick puree.
2. Stir in juice, rind and mixed fruit. Cook
on HIGH power for 2 mins. Stir in
brandy and treacle. Stand for 5 mins.
Beat in rest of ingredients.
3. Press into the pudding basin. Cover with
greaseproof paper and cook on HIGH
power for 4 mins. Stand for 5 mins.
Cook on HIGH power for another 2
mins. or until just firm.
N.B. One of the advantages of using your
microwave to make this traditional
pudding is that it can be made the week
before Christmas and stored in a cool
dry place. Do not attempt to make the
pudding earlier than this, since the
flavour will not improve with keeping,
unlike a traditionally steamed pudding.
