Recipe: Blackcurrant & Apple Steamed Pudding

A classic steamed pudding made with apple and blackcurrant and cooked in a multicooker
Servings: 6
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time2 hours
Total Time2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 175 g butter - cut into small cubes
  • 125 g white caster sugar
  • 50 g soft brown sugar
  • 3 free range eggs
  • 175 g self raising flour
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbs milk
  • 1 small apple - grated
  • 3 tbs blackcurrant jam
  • Extra jam to serve
  • 1/2 small apple - peeled and cut into 1cm chunks

Instructions

  • Place the butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Slowly beat in the eggs.
  • Fold in the flour, salt and cinnamon, adding the milk, if needed, to loosen it until you have a smooth batter. Fold in the grated apple and half of the jam.
  • Butter a 1.2litre/2 pint glass pudding basin well, and put the remainder of the jam and the apple chunks at the bottom.
  • Carefully spoon the batter over the jam and apple, and smooth it so the top is even.
  • Cover the bowl with a double layer of clingfilm (press it down so it is not tight across the top), then add a piece of pleated tin foil and secure with an elastic band.
  • Place the pudding on a trivet, or jar lid in the cooking pot of the REDMOND Multicooker, and fill with water to halfway up the pudding basin.
  • Select MULTICOOK, with a temperature of 100C and allow to steam for two hours.
  • Check periodically and top the water up if needed.
  • To serve remove the foil and cling film, run a pallet knife around the pudding to loosen and flip out onto a plate or cake stand. Heat some more jam and pour over the pudding if desired.

Notes

    • Let the butter soften for a good few hours
    • Use any apples - I used two dessert apples from my mother's garden - no need to peel them before grating
    • Butter the pudding basin well
    • Don't be afraid to play with the flavours - this would be delicious made with my homemade cherry jam or my pear and blackberry jam.
  • Double cover the pudding with cling film, and tin foil secured with a rubberband
