- Pour mixture in prepared basin
- Cover with a double sheet of baking paper and add two layers of foil on top. Tie all the layers with a secure knot and arrange handle to be able to lift pudding
- Place pudding in a large pan(I use my maslin pan which I use for preserves) and fill halfway with water. Cover with a lid and steam for 6 hours.
- You may have to top water up every now and again as it evaporates.
- After steaming lift pudding from the pan and let it cool completely. Remove foil and baking parchment and cover with new sheets.
- Store in cool dark place for up to 6 weeks.
- To reheat steam for 2 hours as before until piping hot. Invert pudding into large plate to serve
