I thought it'd be a good idea if any of us have any good recipes to share. Here's the first one from bigfatarthur:

Christmas Plum Pudding

Ingredients
75g/3oz Self Raising Flour
175g/6oz Light Muscavado Sugar
175g/6oz Margarine
3 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Mixed Spice
Pinch of Salt
225g/8oz Raisins
225g/8oz Sultanas
125g/4oz Mixed Peel
100g tub Cherries
100g packet Ground Almonds
175g/6oz Breadcrumbs
1 bottle Guinness (300m/1/2 pint)

Method:
Cream margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lightly beaten eggs and mix well. Stir in the sieved flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice. Next add the raisins, sultanas, mixed peel, cherries and ground almonds. Mix well. Finally, add the breadcrumbs and bottle of stout. Stir well, cover and leave to stand overnight. Transfer to a 1 1/2 litre/3 pint greased pudding bowl. Cover pudding with greaseproof paper and secure with string or tinfoil. Place pudding in a saucepan with water half way up the side. Cover and steam for 5 hours or longer. The longer the pudding cooks the richer and darker it becomes. Top up saucepan with boiling water as required and don‘t let it boil dry.

To steam pudding in oven:
Put two long strips of tin foil crosswise on work top. Place roasting tin on foil. Sit pudding bowl into the tin and fill with boiling water to within 2cms/1" of top of tin. Then bring tin foil around to form a parcel, which should be airtight to prevent any steam escaping.

Place in preheated oven at 150°C/300°F/Gas 2 for the same length of time as above. There is no need to top up with water during cooking.

To serve:
Steam pudding for 2 hours and serve hot.

    oh this is good!!!! It turned out a bit too spicy but a little sour cream helped to curb that.
