Grandma’s Christmas Pudding
Okay, so here goes… I’ve never made a Christmas pudding before, quite frankly my Grandma makes the best puds in the stratosphere and the thought of a pressure cooker (and having to chisel pudding from my kitchen ceiling) fills me with dread!
But, I’m a brave baker, no pressure cooker here and six puds later (practise, practise, practise) here’s your guide to Grandma’s Christmas Pud

Berry Tea Loaf
A super quick recipe if you’re organised and soak the fruit the night before, just do it when you’re brewing up.

I have to say dried cherries and blueberries in a tea loaf are just lovely – a nice tangy bite to them, definitely a good invention.

Jam Jam Jam Jam!
A couple of weeks ago Edd (from Bake Off) and I attended a jam making session hosted by Stoves and the WI in London. Jam is something I’ve only started doing properly this year, it always seemed the height of domesticity to me, which is why I never gave it a go! Time on my hands and hoards of natures finest (and free) blackberries and damsons pushed me into it.
The session came at absolutely the right time, we had a ball being taught how to make jam properly. Since
