Equipment

  • 2 Large Bowls
  • 1.25 liter Pudding Basin
  • Foil
  • Grease-proof Paper (30 cm each)
  • Saucepan
  • Heat-proof Saucer
  • Grater
  • Spoon
  • Spatula
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g Self-Rising Flour
  • 125 g Bramley Apples (peeled, finely chopped)
  • 100 g Cold Butter (plus some more for greasing)
  • 100 g Fresh White Breadcrumbs
  • 100 g Dark Muscovado Sugar
  • 140 g Raisins
  • 140 g Sultanas
  • 140 g Currants
  • 140 g Dates (chopped)
  • 50 g Mixed Peel
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • 2 Eggs (beaten)
  • 250 ml Guinness
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the apples, raisins, currants, sultanas, and dates. Pour some Guinness over them and then add the orange and lemon zest to it. Stir this mixture, cover it, and leave it overnight.
  • Then, grease the pudding basin with butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the muscovado sugar in it. Tilt and rotate the basin so that the inner side of it gets evenly covered with sugar.
  • Take another large bowl and mix flour, breadcrumbs, and sugar in it. Also, add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg to it and mix.
  • Grate the cold butter and add it to this dry mixture. After that, add beaten eggs and the fruit mixture to it as well and mix until everything is combined.
  • Then, spoon this pudding mixture into the prepped basin. Make sure you level the top or else the pudding will be a bit wobbly.
  • Butter the grease-proof paper with butter and top it with foil. Cover the basin with it tightly.
  • Then, place the saucer in the saucepan and top it with the basin. Pour just-boiled water into the saucepan until the basin is half covered.
  • Cover the saucepan with a lid and place on simmer for about 6 hours. Keep adding water when you feel the need to.
  • Take the pudding out, let it cool down a bit, and serve.
  • If you want to store it, cover it with foil. Then, you can reheat it by steaming it for another hour.
