Keith Floyd Christmas Pudding Recipe?

Can anyone help? I want to make my own Xmas pud this year and have seen online that Floyd's recipe is great, but I've been unable to track down the recipe despite searching for days online. I don't really want to shell out for a book and anyway there isn't time.

Thanks guys! :)

  • Thanks, that's great! :T
  • I guessed booze would play a big part with Floydey! :D
  • Actually, 2 tbsp brandy between 6-8 people - not that boozy!
