25-50 g (1-2 oz) mixed dried

25 g (1 oz) butter
N.B. The apples will look quite green when removed from the oven, but they should feel
slightly soft when tested with a sharp knife. During the standing time, the colour will become
dull and the apples will be tender. The apples will overcook very easily, so take care to
undercook slightly. For 1 baked apple cook for 2-3 mins. For 2 baked apples cook for 3-5 mins.

Christmas pudding
1 /
Dish: 1.3 litre (2 pt) pudding basin lightly greased
2
Oven accessory: glass turntable
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.
