Exclusive Christmas Pudding for UPS customers- Keeping your waist line in check this festive season. Thanks to Elissa Jewell
Christmas Pudding |
(Serves 8)
Ingredients:
6 medium plums
1 green apple
1 punnet of fresh blackberries
4 serves of UPS Ultimate Sustain in Belgian Chocolate
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup of almond meal
30g of walnuts
1/3 cup of raw oats
2 teaspoons of brandy essence
1 tablespoon of xanthan gum
Method:
Place a small saucepan of water over a medium heat. Add the plums and heat until the skin begins to peel away from the flesh.
Remove from the water and leave to cool before removing the stones.
Core the apple and then grate into a food processor before adding all other ingredients (including the plums) and blending until smooth.
You may use either steam or a microwave to cook the pudding, steaming will take roughly 1 1/2 hours and will result in a very moist pudding, whereas the microwave will only take 5-6 minutes however will be a little drier. To steam the pudding simply line a round casserole or pudding dish with baking paper before pouring in the mixture. Place the dish inside a double-boiler and keep the heat in by covering with a lid. Follow the same steps of using baking paper/round dish with the microwave.

Our UPS stand on animals as gifts at Christmas!
Rescused animals by UPS owners in 2010 |
* Never give an animal as a surprise gift
* Be sure that the person who will be responsible, understands the difference between toys and an animal life
* Ensure the receiver has funds to pay for necessary vaccinations, training, food etc
* Include the receiver in the selection of pet (is is suitable for the home, children, lifestyle)
* Provide the receiver with reading materials on active lifestyle, nutrition for their pet and responsible pet ownership
* Be sure over the holiday season, the new pet is not abandoned due to pre planned trips and find a suitable sitter or business to house the animals safely over the summer season.
* Adopt from one of the many animals shelters around or donate balnkets and food for the orphaned animals that will not be in a warm cozzy home this Christmas
Be sure that if you know someone who is interested in becoming a pet owner of any animal, that they are ready to take on the responsibilities required. Animals maybe given as a gift, but the joy comes with a life long relationship of companionship with your pet! Most importantly, this is the time to take a look at all the animals that have already been neglected and have been living in animals shelters. The Lost Dogs Home and the Cat Protection Society, to name a couple have many animals that are just waiting to be taken into a caring and loving home!
If you have any compassion in your heart, you will spare some gold coins and purchase some tinned cat & dog food or blankets and deliver them yourself to any animal shelter before Christmas this year! Together, we can a difference in these animals lives...
