Ingredients

Number of serving: 4

3 ozs. currants

3 ozs sultanas

4 ozs. raisins

4 tablespoons brandy or rum

3 ozs. glace cherries

3 ozs. plain or SR flour

1 teaspoon mixed spice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 ozs. fresh breadcrumbs

2 ozs. sugar - muscovado or demerara

2 teaspoon gravy browning

1/2 a lemon & 1/2 an orange - grated zest + 1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 ozs grated apple (115g) - no need to peel

4 ozs finely grated carrot (peeled)

2 eggs + 4 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons molasses or cane sugar syrup

Preparation

Soak the dried fruit overnight in your alcohol of choice.
The next day, dust the glace cherries in the flour before adding (with all the flour) to the rest of the pudding's dry ingredients.
Mix all the dry ingredients together first, then add the wet ones. Mix together thoroughly - the smell is gorgeous!
Place into a greased 2 pt. (1.2 ltre) Pyrex bowl (or similar), cover well with a double sheet of buttered greaseproof paper
Tie with string or make a strip of foil to place under and over the bowl - so that you have a handle/s you can take the hot bowl out of the pan with.
This may be necessary when refilling the hot water inside the saucepan.
