Foggy Pudding
This traditional Victorian pudding for Christmas is lovey - possibly more lovely now because we can afford more figs to put in it!

Mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl:
150 g vegetarian suet
400 g dried figs, chopped small
250 g dried mixed fruit
200 g dark soft brown sugar
100 g breadcrumbs
100 g self raising flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
50 g ground almonds
Mix your wet ingredients in another bowl:
1 grated Bramley apple, peeled and cored
Juice of a lemon
Juice of an orange
zest of a lemon
2 eggs
100 ml milk
5 tablespoons of brandy
Butter a 2 litre pudding dish
Combine the wet with the dry, mixing with your hands
Spoon the mixture in the pudding dish, pressing down to remove air
Place a circle of baking paper on the top and aluminium foil over the top of the dish
Tie a string round the rim of the dish and make a handle
Place a trivia in a large pan and place the pudding on this
Add enough boiling water to come half way up the dish
Place foil over the boiling dish and then fit the lid, and boil on a fast simmer for 6 1/2 to 7 hours, checking the water level regularly
When cooked remove the foil and replace with fresh while the pudding cools |
