["Combine the fruit, peel, lemon juice and brandy in a large bowl. Cover. Store in a cool dark place overnight or up to 1 week, stirring every day.", "Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir the butter mixture into the fruit mixture. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients and breadcrumbs.", "Fill a large saucepan three-quarters full of hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Have ready 8 feet of kitchen string and additional 1/2 cup flour. Wearing thick rubber gloves, dip the pudding cloth in the boiling water and boil for 1 min, then remove and carefully squeeze the excess water from the cloth. Working quickly, spread the hot cloth on the workbench and rub the flour into the center of the cloth to cover an area about 16 inches in diameter, leaving the flour a little thicker in the center of the cloth where the \"skin\"" on the pudding needs to be thickest.""
