Best Answer

It depends a lot on the recipe that you use, for example some may specify separate weights for currents, raisins and sultanas, whereas other recipes may simply specify a weight of "mixed dried fruit". The primary ingredients in a Christmas pudding are : raisins, sultanas, currents, mixed dried peel, glace cherries, sugar, treacle, flour, breadcrumbs, brandy/whiskey, butter, nutmeg, cinammon, cardamom, allspice, ginger. Depending on the recipe there may be additional ingredients, or some spices omitted.
