Boiled Fruit Pudding

1 hour 50 minutes
Originally this recipe is from my Dad's Mother and given to my mother, than me. My Mum sent me this recipe on my first Christmas when I moved out of home. I had never attempted to cook anything like this before - and am no expert chef. Yet to my surprise (and my husbands) it turned out perfectly. So easy, so affordable, so delicious...a must have addition to your Christmas Recipes.
