Hit me with your best Christmas cake/pudding recipes please

[~Kim~]

Well Christmas is coming and I'd love to have a crack at these. I also want to get that fruit soaking nice and early.
So girlies what's your favourite recipe?
Only criteria are more fruit than cake and
NO oranges/orange juice - I'm highly allergic

Cheers in advance

My aunty makes an awesome dark fruit cake which she feeds brandy to weekly even after it's cooked, I will try and find it for you.

I make a very light pudding. It makes a small one, but you could change the quantities. I much prefer light puddings and cakes over the dark ones (I just find them too strong in flavour).

I can post it if you like.

bumping this because I need a good chrissie pud recipe. You are supposed to make them now, right, and then let them hang up or something??? (bit clueless)
