Ingredients:

1 cup raisins
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped and pitted prunes
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup crystallized ginger , diced small
1 Tbsp. orange zest
1 Tbsp. lemon zest
1/2 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup agave syrup
Big pinch sea salt
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cardamom
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1 cup hemp milk or rice milk or soy milk

This is what you will need:
Pudding basin or bowl preferably with rim so foil can be tucked in securely
Large saucepan with tight-fitting lid big enough to hold the bowls
Greaseproof paper circle to fit top of bowl
Aluminum foil

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the raisins, prunes, apricots and ginger and add orange and lemon zest and juices, agave syrup, salt, spices and vanilla. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 8 hours or overnight.

When ready to make pudding, transfer the soaked fruit into a large mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Rub the inside of the pudding bowl with coconut oil or olive oil and add the pudding mixture. Cover the top with circles of parchment paper that fit inside the bowl. Cover the top with aluminum foil, which you put a pleat in the middle to allow for expansion during the cooking process. Tuck the foil in well around the bowl to make sure no water or steam gets in while cooking.

Put the bowl into a large saucepan with tight-fitting lid. Fill the saucepan with enough water to come to within an inch of the top of bowl. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 4 hours. Check occasionally to make sure there’s enough water, and add some if it’s getting low.

It's traditional to make your puddings several months before Christmas and resteam on the day of your celebration. When ready to use, steam them again for about 2 hours.

Serve with vegan vanilla custard or cashew ice cream.


ENJOY!!
