    Categories: Puddiings, Fruits, Booze, Dairy, Citrus
    Yield: 7 Servings

    110 g (4 oz) self-raising flour
    110 g (4 oz) currants
    110 g (4 oz) Golden raisins
    110 g (4 oz) Breadcrumbs
    110 g (4 oz) Dark brown sugar
    110 g (4 oz) Shredded suet
    1/2 ts Mixed spice powder
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    pn Fresh grated nutmeg
    250 g (9 oz) Plums; stones removed
    - chopped
    1/2 lg Apple; cored, peeled, and
    - chopped
    1 Orange, juice & zest only
    4 tb Dark rum
    2 lg Eggs
    225 ml (8 fl oz) milk

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    1 lg Egg
    300 g (10 1/2 oz) icing sugar
    150 g (5 oz) butter; melted
    1 Vanilla pod; seeds scraped
    - out
    200 ml (7 fl oz) cream; whipped
    - until soft peaks form

    Butter a 1 litre/2 pint pudding basin.

    Mix the flour, currants, raisins, breadcrumbs, sugar,
    suet, mixed spice, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a
    large bowl.

    Add the plums and apple pieces.

    Add the orange zest and juice, the rum and the eggs and
    mix well.

    Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until the
    mixture will drop from the spoon when pulled from the
    bowl (dropping consistency).

    Place the plum mixture into the pudding basin and cover
    with greaseproof paper or a pudding cloth. Secure the
    paper or cloth with kitchen string.

    Using a pan with a lid large enough to comfortably
    contain the pudding basin, half-fill the pan with
    boiling water. Add the pudding basin and cover with the
    lid. Steam the pudding for three hours. Replenish the
    water level if necessary.

    Remove the basin from the pan and allow to cool
    slightly.

    For the sauce, whisk the egg for five minutes until
    light and foaming.

    Add the sugar, butter and vanilla seeds and whisk well.

    Carefully fold in the whipped cream until well combined.

    To serve, spoon out the plum pudding onto plates and
    spoon the sauce alongside.

    Serves: 6 - 8
