Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Add sufficient sherry or brandy to make it moist. (All family members should take a turn at stirring, they each make a wish). Put mixture in a bowl. Cover with wax paper and a pudding cloth. Steam for 4 hours. The pudding then can be put in a cool dry place for up to 18 months. Steam another 3 hours before serving. Turn out onto plate. Put a sprig of holly on top. Pour a little hot brandy over the top and ignite! This is sufficient for a pudding.
