This Christmas pudding carries the fragrance of stollen spices – cardamom, mace, nutmeg – woven through soft dried fruits, zesty citrus, and golden marzipan pearls. A mellow, nostalgic centrepiece with a hint of continental warmth, it steams gently into being and slices like a storybook cake. Glazed in melted butter, it welcomes toasted almonds and a flutter of icing sugar.

Serve it cold, in the garden, with mint and sparkling water — or bottle it up as a gift for future you.
