Traditional plum pudding Cooking Time 240 minutes Ingredients (serves 12) * 1 x 375g pkt raisins, coarsely chopped * 1 x 300g pkt currants * 150g sultanas * 1 x 170g pkt craisins (dried cranberries) * 250ml (1 cup) rum * Melted butter, to grease * 250g butter, at room temperature * 200g (1 cup) firmly-packed brown sugar * 4 eggs * 175g (2 1/2 cups) fresh breadcrumbs * 75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour * 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour * 1 tsp mixed spice * 1 tsp ground cinnamon * Warmed custard, to serve 1.Combine raisins, currants, sultanas, craisins and rum in a bowl. Set aside for 6 hours to macerate. 2.Brush a 2L (8-cup) capacity pudding basin with melted butter to grease. Line the base with non-stick baking paper. 3.Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture may appear curdled). Stir in breadcrumbs, combined flours, mixed spice and cinnamon. Add the raisin mixture and stir until combined. Spoon into basin. 4.Place an upturned heatproof saucer in the base of a saucepan. Fill one-third of the saucepan with boiling water and bring to a simmer over low heat. 5.Cut a 30cm-square piece of non-stick baking paper and a 30cm-square piece of foil. Place paper on foil and fold to make a pleat in the centre. Place over basin, foil-side up. Tie a double piece of kitchen string around basin to secure. To make a handle, tie a double piece of string loosely over the top of the basin. 6.Lower the basin onto the saucer in saucepan. Add enough boiling water to reach two-thirds of the way up the basin. Simmer, covered, over low heat, adding boiling water when necessary, for 4 hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the pudding comes out clean. 7.Remove basin from pan. Set aside for 5 minutes. Pour over custard to serve.
