Method
- First, put the apricots, prunes and sultanas in a food processor and whiz up until chopped. If you overdo the whizzing and end up with a puree, don't panic, it will still be ok. Alternatively, you can chop by hand but it takes a lot longer
- Next, combine all the ingredients together in a basin, stir well and put them in a well oiled 2 pint pudding basin
- Cover the surface of the pudding mix with oiled greaseproof paper and cover the basin securely with foil
- Steam for 3½ hours and cool
- Wrap in clean foil and store for a maximum of 6-8 weeks
- Reheat by steaming for a further 1½ hours
- You can freeze and thaw overnight.
