Question

my mother is coming over for christmas and her body does not tolerate alcohol does anyone have a good recipe for a non alcohol xmas pud?

Answer 1

Just make your usual recipe substituting fruit juice for the alcohol.

Answer 2

Traditional Christmas Pudding (Also called Carrot Pudding)

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 cup Raisins

1 cup Dates

1 cup Currants

1 cup Margarine* (scant — just under 1 cup)

1 cup Shredded Carrot

1 cup Grated Potato

1 1/4 cups Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 pinch Salt

* Traditionally Suet would have been used instead of Margarine

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together in large bowl

Cover the bowl with tinfoil

Steam for 3 hours**

** To steam the pudding, you can use a large pot with a small amount of water in the bottom. We use an inverted pyrex bowl in the bottom of the pot to keep the bowl with the pudding above the level of the water. Cover the pot, and cook on medium heat (keep water to a low boil) Make sure you continue to carefully add small amounts of water to the pot so that it doesn’t boil dry over the 3 hours steaming time.

Serve with a Brown Sugar Sauce or Custard.

Answer 3

Normal Christmas pudding recipes and leave out the brandy.

Alternatively have pudding with brandy and give her some jelly and custard or mince pie and custard.

Answer 4

All the alcohol content should have disappeared into the air by the time your mother arrives but, to be on the safe side, leave it out and replace it with a good quality apple juice...or orange juice
