Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix fruit, nuts and breadcrumbs and set aside.
  2. Stir together flour, baking pwdr, bicarb, suet, salt and spices.
  3. Cream butter and sugar well and add in beaten Large eggs slowly beating well constantly. Blend in molasses.
  4. Mix lowfat milk and brandy together and add in to the creamed mix alternately with the flour mix beating well as you add in.
  5. Finally mix in the fruit mix well and the marmalade. Add in a little gravy browning mixing well to make it a dark colour if necessary.
  6. Grease a pudding basin and fill 2/3 full with the pudding mix.
  7. Cover with a layer of greaseproof paper then aluminum foil and tie well (Strong elastics work well but put three on in case of breakage !)
  8. I use the trivet from the pressure cooker in the bottom of a deep pot.
  9. Fill with a couple of inches of water and put the basin in and the lid on. Steam for 6 hrs....it's important of course not to get any water into the basin so bring to the boil slowly and keep the water level low sufficient not to boil up. After 6 hrs take out and uncover straight away to let the surface dry well (Leave it overnight loosely covered if necessary - it must NOT have a wet surface) When cool wet the surface with about 1/4 c. of brandy (this adds flavour but also sterilizes the surface so it does not mold while seasoning) Cover with a layer of greaseproof and a layer of foil again trying tightly and put it in the cool room for about 3+ weeks to season and blend the fruit flavours.
  10. When preparing - steam again 4 hrs very gently without changing the cover.
