Fruits and Vegetables Recipe ⇉ Steamed Christmas Pudding

The variations on this are endless because the filling can be any combination of mincemeat, pumpkin and/or cranberry sauce, but here's my favorite combination.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
• ½ cup whole cranberry sauce
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar

Cooking Directions

1. Grease one 2-quart lidded pudding mold. Sift together the flour, sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, butter, mincemeat, cranberry sauce and pumpkin. Add to flour mixture and mix until smooth; pour into pudding mold.
3. Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot, over medium heat, and fill 1/2 way up with boiling water. Place the pudding on the rack. Steam for 2 1/2 hours.
4. Check the pan occasionally and add more water if needed. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. When firm, place the pudding mold on a rack outside of the water for 10 minutes and unmold.
5. Prepare a sauce by blending together the sour cream, cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Spoon dollops over warm pudding and serve.
