This classic Christmas pudding is a rich, fruit-studded dessert, traditionally made well in advance. It's packed with almonds, apples, candied peel, and raisins, all bound with flour, breadcrumbs, and muscovado sugar, then steamed for hours until deeply flavored. You'll make it, then store it until Christmas Day, when a final steam and a pour of warmed brandy brings it to life. Serve with a dollop of homemade brandy butter.
