175g sultanas

25g blanched almonds

Step by step method

  1. Melt the Stork Bake and mix in all the remaining ingredients.
  2. Place the mixture in a greased 1½ - 2 litre pudding dish. Cover tightly with greaseproof paper and foil and secure with string under the rim.
  3. Place in a saucepan of boiling water to come halfway up the side of the basin. Steam for 7 hours, adding more boiling water to pan when necessary.
  4. Remove from the saucepan, cool and store until needed. This pudding should be made 6 weeks in advance to allow the flavours to develop.
  5. Serve hot with Brandy Cream (from Spiced Muffins and Brandy Cream recipe) or with custard or whipped cream.
