Notes

Put dried Peel, chopped Nutmeg, vanilla bean and other pudding-based ingredients in a steeping bag along with 1 cup mix of raisins, sultanas and currants, 1/2 cup of mixed peel, and also add 1 chopped apple, 1 chopped carrot, a cup of chopped dates, a few candied cherries and some whole almonds. Place bag in boiling water for a couple of minutes to sterilize, then transfer to ONE of the two primary fermenters. Keep the other half of the batch fruit-free for comparison and mixing. Salvage yeast from the unfruited batch only. Soak the dried fruit in some cognac and sherry before adding - then keep soaking liquid to add more sherry and cognac flavour later if desired. I think the large addition of chopped dates should add the pudding flavour that was missing from the first attempt, which was only rectified with the addition of pureed Christmas Pudding, which unfortunately added a great deal of lard and killed the head retention.
