Stress-free 'meekro-warvey' Christmas Pudding is a community recipe submitted by Groucho54 and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.
Put the water, fruit, fat and sugar in a large pan and slowly heat until all the sugar and fat has dissolved - Tip: you are only melting not cooking so don't let it get too hot.
Sieve the next five ingredients into a large bowl and mix well to ensure an even spread of the spices.
Add warm wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and add the two beaten eggs and mix well.
Put into suitably sized microwaveable dish lined with cling film, but do not cover over the top with the cling film. I use a glass mixing bowl as the cooking dish to get a nice pudding shape. Place in microwave (timings for 900w adjust timing for lower or higher power microwave).
Once cooked turn out onto a plate and remove cling film. Allow to cool. This can be sliced up and frozen in handy portions. It's great re-heated and then dry fried to get a tasty crust on it.
The Scottish dish Clootie Dumpling is the basis for this updated recipe and they eat a slice of this dumpling with a cooked breakfast - naughty but delicious.
