Christmas Pudding

Take a bowl, add the first listed six ingredients with the mixed nuts and the cinnamon powder.

Pour in the milk and break in the egg. Once these ingredients are combined well, tip this into a well greased 1.5 litre pudding bowl.

Cover this pudding with a double layer of foil greased with butter, then make a pleat in the centre and allow this pudding to rise.

Tie a string on the foil and place this pudding in a steamer which has water gently simmering water on the sides of the bowl. Cover it with a lid and let it steam for 2 and 1/2 hours.

Make sure to check the water level during cooking. (In case you are preparing this dish ahead, remove the foil, let it cool, then wrap in a cling film and then a fresh foil.)

In case you are serving it immediately, unwrap the foil and serve it on a plate.

Garnish with some cherries and serve it warm.
