Ingredients
- 100g Co-op currants or seedless raisins
- 100g Co-op sultanas
- 100g Co-op dried cranberries
- 50g mixed peel
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 100ml Co-op Napoleon Brandy
- 150g Co-op Fairtrade dark brown soft cane sugar
- 1 cooking apple, peeled and grated
- 150g ground almonds
- 150g gluten free self raising flour, or gluten free flour with - 1 tsp gluten free baking powder
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp allspice
- 2 Co-op British free range eggs
- 50ml Co-op vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing
- 2 tbsp treacle
Method
- Put all of the dried fruit into a bowl along with the orange and lemon zest and juice, and the brandy
- Stir well, cover and let sit for at least 2 hours, or overnight
- Once soaked, mix in the brown sugar, grated apple and ground almonds
- Add the gluten-free flour and spices, then stir to combine
- Beat the eggs, oil and treacle together, then add to the bowl and stir until well combined
- Grease a 2-litre pudding basin with oil and line the base with a circle of greaseproof paper
- Spoon in the pudding mixture and smooth the top – there should be a 2-4cm gap to the top of the basin
- Cover the basin with a large sheet of greaseproof paper, then a large sheet of foil
- Wrap tightly and tie with string to secure, then form a handle so that you can lift it out after steaming
- To steam the pudding, put a small saucer or heat-safe ramekin in the bottom of a very large, lidded saucepan
- Lift the pudding onto the ramekin and pour boiling water around it, until halfway up the basin
- Cover the pan and simmer over a low heat for 4 hours, topping up the water as necessary
- Once cooked, lift the pudding out of the pan using the string handle
