Christmas Pudding

This is an adaptation of my grandma's classic Christmas pudding...which is SO delicious served warm with hot carmel sauce and if you're feeling the need for just a bit more sweet, top it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or my favourite a splash of Bailey's.  : )  Mmmm!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw potato, grated
• 1 cup raw carrot, grated
• 1/2 cup white rice flour
• 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda

Directions:

1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add grated carrots and potatoes.  Mix well.
3. Toss the raisins with a bit of the flour to coat them before adding to the mixture.
4. Stir together flours, spices and baking soda.  Mix into potato mixture.
5. Pour into a sealer jar and steam for 3 hours.  Don't fill more than 3/4 full as it will rise and make sure the jar seals!
6. Store in a cool, dry place for a few weeks.
7. Serve warm with caramel sauce on Christmas Day!
