| 125 g ground flax-seed | Mix and let stand at room temperature overnight |
| 250 ml water | |
| 400 ml bread crumbs | cream together |
| 100 g brown sugar | |
| 200 g olive oil | |
| Strain flax albumen. Discard the flax husks and pour the albumen into the breadcrumb mixture. | |
| 1 ml cloves | Stir in |
| 5 ml cinnamon | |
| 3 ml nutmeg | |
| 5 ml salt | |
| 300 g finely chopped dried figs and prunes | Stir in |
| 100 g finely chopped citron | |
| 250 g candied cherries | |
Thoroughly grease a pudding-mold. Arrange decorative patterns in the mold from candied angelica, candied citrus peels, and other fruits. Pack the pudding in on top of the decorations, being careful not to dislodge them. (It is also theoretically possible to candy rutabaga slices, which will allow us to cut holly-leave shapes out of the slices. I'll let you know how that goes if I get enough energy to try) Cover and steam
