desperanceThe Christmas pudding is boiling now. I ... am trying not to be concerned.
Thing is, I had three recipes, all different: and never quite the ingredients of any one. So I have mixed and matched, added a little of this from here and a little of that from there - "molasses sugar and black treacle? but I have neither of these things! so I will use raw sugar and molasses instead!" - and mostly just ended up hopeful.
I'm ... not really very good at being hopeful. It should be fine; it's got fruit and alcohol and eggs and grain-based binders (flour and breadcrumbs and ground almonds, in guessable proportions that don't quite meet any of the recipes' demands), and of a surety most such puddings have been made like that for most of human history, so. I can haz a hopeful?
(Also, of course, I still have a week to make another if this one turns out crooked.)
(Also also, it's got chocolate in it. What can possibly go wrong?)
