Additional Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1 cup brandy
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon grapefruit zest
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and ground almonds until well combined.
Add in all of the dried fruits and candied fruits and mix until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the molasses, brandy, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and all the citrus zests. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the flour and fruit mixture and stir until everything is well coated and combined.
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Transfer the pudding mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and secure it tightly.
Place the pan in a large pot and fill the pot with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the pan.
Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let the pudding steam for 6-8 hours, checking periodically to make sure the water hasn't boiled off.
Once done, remove the pudding from the pot and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Wrap the pudding tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for at least a week before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and mature.
To serve, remove the plastic wrap and reheat the pudding in the microwave or oven before turning it out onto a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
