CHRISTMAS PUDDING IN JULY
Enjoy a nutritious and delicious Christmas in July with VITUS.
Planet Health, the proud owner of VITUS, is celebrating Christmas in July the Highlands way – WINTRY and WONDROUS.
We have been based in the heart of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales since 2000, a beautiful area, popularly known to host Christmas in July due to its cold but cosy winters with occasional snow. Christmas cheer is most definitely in the air and we're sharing a delicious recipe that’ll be the perfect addition to your Christmas in July dinner party; our VITUS VEGAN CHRISTMAS PUDDING.
VITUS VEGAN CHRISTMAS PUDDING RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
-
4 teaspoons VITUS IRON + C
-
½ teaspoon all spice
-
100g plain flour
-
100g breadcrumbs
-
170g coconut sugar
-
1 large apple (grated)
-
175g raisins
-
175g sultanas
-
375g dried figs
-
75ml rum
-
125g vegan butter
-
30ml coconut oil
METHOD:
-
Grease a 2 litre Bundt tin with vegan butter
-
Grease a large sheet of baking parchment and place it on top of a large sheet of foil, greased side up.
-
Roughly chop a third of the dried figs and set aside.
-
Add the remainder of the dried figs to a blender along with the butter, rum, coconut oil, VITUS IRON + C and all spice. Blend until smooth.
-
In a large mixing bowl add the chopped dried figs, sultanas, raisins, grated apple, coconut sugar, flour and breadcrumbs and stir together with the blended ingredients.
-
Once combined, spoon into the Bundt tin and press it in tightly.
-
Cover with the buttered parchment and foil (butter side facing the pudding) and tie a string around it to seal the tin. Trim any excess parchment/foil.
-
Lower into a large saucepan on top of scrunched up foil (so that the Bundt tin doesn’t touch the bottom), then fill the saucepan with boiling water until about halfway up the tin.
-
Cover and allow to simmer for 1 hour.
-
Remove and allow to cool uncovered for several hours. Wait for pudding to completely cool before removing from the tin.
-
Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
ENJOY!
