Description

This classic Mincemeat Plum Pudding offers a comforting, cake-like texture with bursts of tart fruit and warm spices. Made quickly in the microwave, it combines bottled mincemeat, brown sugar, and citrus notes with a tender crumb. The addition of nuts adds a delightful crunch, while a touch of rum or brandy deepens the flavor profile. Perfect for a cozy afternoon treat or a festive holiday dessert, its simple to prepare and delivers an indulgent, home-style experience. Serve warm with a side of rum eggnog sauce for an extra layer of richness. This recipe is ideal for those seeking a quick yet sophisticated dessert without the wait of traditional steaming methods.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl or glass measure, combine the bottled mincemeat, packed brown sugar, butter, orange juice, orange rind, and rum or brandy.
  2. Microwave the mixture on high for 3 minutes, stopping once to stir, until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour the hot mincemeat mixture over the dry ingredients, adding the beaten eggs and chopped nuts.
  5. Stir everything together until the batter is well combined and smooth.
  6. Lightly grease a 2-quart ring mold or souffl dish and line the bottom with parchment paper; grease the paper as well. If using a souffl dish, place a greased glass in the center to create a ring shape.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared dish.
  8. Place an inverted dinner plate in the bottom of your microwave and set the dish on top of it to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  9. Microwave on medium power for 10 minutes.
  10. Rotate the dish 180 degrees and microwave on high for 2 to 4 more minutes, or until the top is no longer moist and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  11. Let the pudding stand on the counter for 15 minutes to set.
  12. Run a knife around the outside of the dish to loosen the pudding.
  13. Invert the pudding onto a serving plate and let it cool completely before slicing.
  14. To serve, reheat individual portions uncovered in the microwave on medium for 4 to 6 minutes until warm. Accompany with rum eggnog sauce.
