- You can also cook the pudding by tying some string around the rim to seal it. Then, make a string handle from one side of the basin to the other, so you can lift out the pudding. Place the bowl in a saucepan of water two thirds of the way up the bowl. Bring to the boil, add a lid and turn down the heat and simmer gently for 1.25 hours, making sure the water doesn't evaporate by adding more boiling water, if needed.
- You could use mixed dried fruits rather than separate dried fruit. If you don't have all the spices, use double the amount of mixed spice.
- Freezing instructions: Can be frozen either ready-to-cook or cooked. Defrost, then heat in the microwave or steam to serve.
