The elaborate Christmas Pudding I doubt anyone makes it these days I have gone through the recipe and the labour that goes into making it I think is not my cup of tea
I did however make a pudding my way. I even poured brandy over it and lit it I saw the blue flamo
And as for wishes I had slips with wishes written and placed them around the pudding Each guest (mostly family) picked one and read out what they got as a wish.
Merry Christmas
Here is a link of a Christmas pudding recipe meant for the Royals. You may not do it but no harm in knowing how it is done

Your version of the Christmas pudding sounds delightful and meaningful! Adding the wishes is such a creative and thoughtful touch—it must have added a sense of fun and connection to the gathering. Lighting the pudding with brandy for the blue flame is such a classic, festive moment, too.
I’d love to hear what kinds of wishes were included on those slips. Did anyone get a particularly memorable or funny one?

@LadyDuck I bake the date and walnut cake every year and that is also a bit time consuming but I suppose not like the Christmas pudding
Is what you are doing something like a cake?

@allknowing - Also making the Italian Panettone is time consuming, but I like it so I do every year.

We like Christmas pudding although we usually buy them ready made, but my partner's mother always makes some which she distributes around the family.
When cold you can make Christmas pudding ice cream - just mix one mushed-up cooked pudding with one carton (or in our case one recipe) of vanilla ice-cream and re-freeze, it's really good!
Incidentally it's funny that 'figgy pudding' doesn't normally contain figs!

@Fleura But the recipe does look long winded and elaborate.

@allknowing It doesn't actually take that long to mix everything up, then you just leave it to steam. Of course making several at once is the best idea. Then once they are cooked they will keep, properly sealed, for a year or more.

It looks yummy but I have never had it. What you made and lighting it sounds neat!

I have never made pudding, but it is something I'd love to try at home.
