Directions
Mix all ingredients except eggs and brandy until well blended, use your hands if necessary.
Stir in eggs, and brandy. Pour into lightly greased pudding mold or basin (or a coffee tin) and cover top with a piece of greased foil and clean cloth.
Tie coverings, tightly and leave strings to assist in removing from pot later. Place on rack in pot with boiling water ⅔ way up the side of the basin. Boil gently for 3 to 3½ hours. Remove carefully from cooled water, using strings.
Cool completely and store in a cool place (or the refrigerator) until Christmas.
To serve:
Reheat unmold pudding by steaming or wrap in foil and reheat gently in oven. Invert onto serving platter; set aflame, if desired, with brandy and insert holly in top. Serve with whipped cream or brandied hard sauce.
