Servings: persons

1 cup sultana
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup craisins
1 cup glace cherries, chopped
1/2 cup brandy
65 g fine rice flour
35 g cornstarch
20 g debittered soy flour or 20 g bean flour
60 g butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups fresh gluten-free breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon mixed spice or 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
3 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk

1
Grease and line a 1 litre pudding basin with baking paper.
2
Add the dried fruits and brandy to a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3
Add the three flours to a mixing bowl and mix with a whisk to ensure they are well combined. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the soaked fruits, sugar, breadcrumbs and spice. Mix well to combine.
4
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and milk. Add to the fruit mixture and mix to combine.
5
Pour the mixture into the pudding basin. Place the pudding basin in a large stockpot. Pour in enough water to the pot to come 3/4 of the way up the side of the pudding basin.
6
Bring the water to the boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook the pudding for 2 to 3 hours. Check the water regularly to ensure it does not run dry.
7
If making ahead, the pudding may be resteamed for 1 hour on the day of serving. I've generally found also that a cook ahead pudding can be sliced and individual serves warmed in the microwave.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
