Cover and leave the fruit to soak up the brandy. This needs to be overnight, though can be left for a few days. Traditionally this should be done on Stir Up Sunday. The article continues below, but in the meantime why not Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Spoon the mixture into a large greased bowl or basin, pressing down to remove air pockets. Smooth the mixture and cover it with grease proof paper. Add a further covering of kitchen foil slightly above this - this is to allow for the pudding to expand. Tie the kitchen foil down with string. Set aside in a cold place to set. This can be overnight, though some people prefer to leave theirs for a few days or weeks, depending on the alcohol content. This recipe is low alcohol as well as low calorie and low fat, so should only be left for a few days at most. Stand the basin or bowl on a surface within a saucepan. We use a small block of wood. Fill the saucepan with boiling water to cover the pudding bowl to just over halfway. Place the lid on the saucepan and simmer gently for about 5 hours. You will need to check the saucepan at regular intervals and top up the water if needed, but ensure no water ever goes over the top of the pudding bowl. After gently boiling remove from the heat and take the pudding basin out of the saucepan. Take off the kitchen foil and the grease proof paper and replace them with new coverings. Set aside to cool down. Store the Xmas pudding in dry but cool and dark place for two weeks or less. When you are ready to eat the Christmas pudding you will need to gently boil it again for two hours. Once ready to serve just loosen the sides of the bowl or basin with a knife and turn it upside down onto a plate and serve. Low fat natural or Greek yogurt or framage frais would make low calorie and low fat toppings. For those not on a diet the Christmas pudding can be served with cream, brandy sauce or brandy butter.
