Tradition is an odd old thing. I have never made a Christmas pudding before this year - I've always had, and greatly enjoyed my mother's, Christmas simply would not be Christmas without it.

This year I made the Royal Mint Christmas pudding, a recipe they commissioned from Rachel Walker, the food Editor at Reader's Digest, and it was remarkably easy, with very little hands on time. My resulting pudding was rich, sticky, spiced (but importantly for me not over powering), had a hint of chocolate and was greatly enjoyed at the first taste.

I've made a quick video guide, and have a few hints, to show you just how easily it can be done

Read the recipe twice before you start! You cannot make this pudding in an afternoon. You need to soak the dried fruit overnight, and you can rest the pudding mixture over night before cooking.

Gather all your ingredients together and weight them out before you start.

Reread the recipe as you make the pudding - I actually put the ingredients in the wrong order, fortunately it did not matter at all.

It is OK to vary the recipe - change the spices according to your taste, use whiskey if you do not have brandy. Keep the amounts the same and you will be fine.

I far prefer to cook steamed puddings in the slow cooker. It frees up a ring on the hob, and generally needs less attention that a pan on the stove does. Stand a jam jar lid in the bottom of the cooker, pop in the pudding and fill with boiling water to halfway up. Adjust the setting so you have a gentle simmer.

The pudding needs 6 hours of cooking, 4 in advance, 2 on the day. The closer to Stir Up Sunday you make it the better - it improves and matures in the weeks before Christmas.

Enjoy making your pudding and turn it into a family tradition with everyone taking a turn to stir and to make a wish.

Do not forget to add your Sixpence - the person who finds it on Christmas Day (or possibly in Boxing Day leftovers) will have good luck for the next year.

This Sunday, the Sunday before the start of Advent is Stir Up Sunday, when it is traditional to make your Christmas Puddings and Cakes, so called as the Collect for the day starts "Stir up, we beseech the O Lord", and the timing is ideal to allow the pudding to mature before Christmas Day. Traditionally a Sixpence was stirred into the pudding before it was cooked, and it would bring the finder good luck and wealth for the forthcoming year. As the pudding was made each member of the family would give it a stir and make a wish for the coming year.

The pudding making was very much a joint effort, Ed weighed everything out, I added it all to the bowl and gave it the first mix. Ed added the sixpence and we both had a stir and made a wish.

Recipe: Christmas Pudding
PLEASE READ: If you do add anything like coins or charms to your pudding, sterilise them first in boiling water. Make sure you choose items large enough to be noticed, or wrap them tightly in a ball of tin foil, and tell everyone to look out for them. This serves two purposes: it will increase the fun, and it counts as a word to the wise, so that Christmas dinner doesn't close with people accidentally swallowing the coin or breaking teeth! Post commissioned by The Royal Mint. All opinions our own. Obviously, due to size, putting a coin in a pudding might cause a risk of choking. And while we might all remember stirring a 2p or 20p piece in our puddings as children, modern knowledge of health and safety might change our thinking towards it, particularly if the coins aren't pure silver, or have not been sterilised. As such, we recommend that you do not bake your coin into the pudding or when reheating. Instead, we recommend that coins should be placed into the pudding just prior to serving, with the slices then dished out at random to give someone the chance to find it. Alternatively, simply pop the sixpence in its pouch and hide it under one of the table settings before everyone sits down to dinner.
