Method

  1. Put the butter salt and spices into a medium saucepan over a gentle heat until the butter has melted. Mix together with a wooden spoon until well combined. Add the sugar and mix in well, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Stir in the Christmas pudding, and orange zest then gently simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cream and mix well, then add the alcohol and chocolate and mix until melted. Either serve warm, straightaway, or pour into sterilised jars, seal and keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.

    Paul’s tips: Add extra dried fruits, nuts and glace cherries for more decadence. Store-bought pudding works very well, but if you don’t like Christmas pudding, try stollen instead.
