Put large pot on stove, fill with water and
bring to boil. Place clean pudding cloth in boiling water, and boil. While
this is boiling make pudding as below. Place flour, sugar, spices and fruit
in bowl. Melt butter in 1 cup of boiling water. Add soda to the other 1/2
cup boiling water and add to flour etc. Add brandy. Mix well (if too thin
add a hand full of self raising flour). Take cloth out of boiling water.
Squeeze out water. Spread out onto bench and rub with plain flour. Add
pudding mixture into centre. Gather all corners of cloth into hands and try
tightly with string (leave loop at end for lifting in and out of boiling
water). Make sure a small space is left between pudding and string for
expansion. Boil in cloth for 3 hours. Do not let it go off the boil or boil
dry. This pudding can be made two weeks ahead. When cooked keep in a cool
dry place. To reheat follow the same principal as for cooking, although
only boil for 1.5 hours. |
