Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together chopped dried fruits, citrus peel, orange zest and juice, milk and brandy/whiskey and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove and let cool slightly. Pour butter over the dried fruit mixture and add the breadcrumbs, eggs, brown sugar and the flour mixture, mix to combine.

  2. Grease the inside of your Tuffsteel 2lt Pudding Steamer and pour in the mixture. Place the lid onto the pudding steamer, align the circles and turn to lock. Place filled pudding steamer into a large stockpot and fill the stockpot halfway with boiling water (ensure that water level does not reach opening of pudding steamer). Place a lid onto the stockpot and simmer on low for 4 hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the pudding comes out clean.

  3. Once cooked, lift the pudding steamer out of the stockpot by the handle located on the lid (wear oven mitts to protect your hands). To serve, unfasten the lid of your pudding steamer and carefully turn the pudding out onto a serving plate. Top pudding with custard, icing sugar, brandy butter or ice cream.

Instructions
  1. Peel the apples and oranges and dice into 1cm cubes.
  2. Combine apples and oranges into a saucepan with orange juice and zest, dried cranberries, honey, cinnamon and thyme. Heat the pan gently for 25 minutes until the fruit is soft. Once it’s ready, set aside and let cool.
  3. In a bowl, sift the flour and salt together. Add the butter and rub into the flour until it forms a bread crumb texture.
  4. Combine the sugar, grated zest and orange juice and mix until the dough comes together. Fold the dough into a ball and cover with cling wrap. Store the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat fan forced oven at 180C°.
  6. Roll out the dough to about 2mm in thickness and with a round cookie cutter, cut the bases out of the mixture and place them in an oiled muffin tin, gently pressing the bottoms down. Add a tbsp of fruit mince in each casing.
  7. Cut out the tops of the mince pies – the dough can be a little thinner for this, and you can be creative with shapes and patterns. Place on top of the fillings.
  8. Bake pies for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry has browned beautifully.
  9. Let mince pies cool in the muffin pan for at least 15 minutes before removing. Dust with icing sugar and serve!
