Soreen Fruit Steamed Pudding Recipe
A lovely fruity pud.
Recipe
Serves 6/8
What you’ll need:
1 x Soreen Original Loaf
150g dried mixed fruit
175ml Semi skimmed milk
120ml double cream
2 x large eggs
1 x tablespoon soft dark brown sugar
40g Toasted flaked almonds
Grated zest from an orange and lemon
Pudding basin or heat proof bowl
What to do:
Pour some boiling water over the dried fruit and leave it to stand for 10 mins, so the fruit goes all soft and lovely
Meanwhile chop the Soreen up into small cheeky pieces
In a large bowl whisk the eggs, sugar, milk and cream together, then throw the zest from the orange and lemon
Drain the dried fruit and stir this in along with the chopped Soreen and the flaked almonds, give it a good stir
Put the mixture into a large greased pudding basin
Cover the top tightly with a double layer of foil
Half fill a large saucepan with boiling water; carefully lower the basin into the pan
Cover with a lid and steam gently for 2 hours, have a peek once or twice to see if the water needs topping up.
When its done, tip the pudding out on to a warm serving plate and cover in warm custard. Whether it’s homemade or shop bought that’s your call. Either way it’ll be yum.
This fruity number makes a great substitute for Christmas pud – lighter and vegetarian.
