Ingredients
- 275 g sultanas 1 ½ cups
- 70 g glace cherries ⅓ cup - roughly chopped
- ¼ cup dark rum
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
- ⅛ teaspoon lemon essence
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- larger pinch of mixed spice
- ½ teaspoon molasses
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- 450 g milk chocolate melts 3 cups
- 395 g can of condensed milk
- ¾ cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Start this recipe a day ahead.
- In a small leakproof container combine the sultanas, rum, essences & cherries, place the lid on to seal then give the container a good shake to distribute. Allow to sit for 24 hours, shaking the container periodically to redistribute the rum.
- Grease and line an 18cm square (7") baking tin (leave some baking paper overhanging for removal) and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over very low heat, melt together the chocolate and condensed milk for 5-7 minutes or until smooth, then remove from heat.
- Add fruit/rum mixture, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & salt to the melted chocolate, then mix to combine.
- Pour chocolate mixture into prepared tin, smoothing the top.
- Refrigerate for approx 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until firm.
- Remove fudge from tin using overhanging baking paper, and slice into 36 squares. Coat each square in coconut.
- Keep refrigerated.

Notes
- I do apologise for the "pinches" in the ingredient list - I am usually more accurate, but our original family Christmas Pudding recipe is for a very large pudding that would easily serve 20-25 people (or 30-35 if my husband is doing the slicing - he loves it and tries to make it last!) so I had to scale the ingredients down.
- Soaking your sultanas for 24 hours lets them soak up all that rum and be super plump and juicy.
