  1. 1

    Put the dried fruit, brandy, juice and zest of the orange in a bowl. Cover and soak overnight.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 100g Raisins
    • 150g Sultanas
    • 150g Figs
    • 1 Apple(s) eating, grated
    • 75g Candied peel
    • 80ml Brandy
    • 1 Orange(s) zest and juice
  2. 2

    Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.

    For this step you'll need:

    • 100g Butter (unsalted)
    • 165g Unrefined dark muscovado sugar
    • 3 Egg(s) (free range)
    • 100g Self-raising white flour
    • 100g Breadcrumbs

    Grease  a 1.25Lt pudding basin and line the base with non-stick baking parchment.

  4. 4

    Spoon the pudding mixture into the basin and press down well.

  5. 5

    Cover with a pleated piece of buttered foil with the buttered side towards the pudding.

  6. 6

    Fold the foil over the edge of the basin and tie with kitchen string so no steam can escape. Make a string handle to lift the hot basin out of the pan.

    Put the basin in a large pan. Pour in boiling water to come half way up the basin. Cover, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 4 hours, topping up regularly with more boiling water.

  8. 8

    Leave the pudding to cool then lift from the pan. Replace the string, foil and paper with a fresh lot. Store in a cool, dark place until needed.

  9. 9

    Before serving, steam in exactly the same way for 1 ½ hours.
