Cranberry & Orange Millennium Pudding

Method

Step one
Grease a 750 ml (1 ½ pint) pudding basin. Place a small disc of greaseproof paper at the bottom. Put a steamer or saucepan of water on to boil.

Step two
In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, Atora Suet, sugar, breadcrumbs, nuts, cranberries and orange rind. Add the egg and enough milk to make a soft consistent mixture then fold in the orange segments.

Step three
Spoon the marmalade in the base of the basin and arrange remaining orange segments in the basin. Spoon the mixture into the basin, cover with greased greaseproof paper and foil. Secure tightly with string.

Step four
Place the pudding into the steamer or saucepan and top up with boiling water to half way up the pudding basin. Steam for 2-2½ hours.

Step five
Carefully turn out the pudding onto a serving plate. Serve with extra marmalade or syrup, vanilla custard or cream.

Microwave ( 650watt)
This pudding can be cooked in the microwave but best results are when the pudding is steamed. Cover the pudding bowl with pleated cling film. Microwave on High for 5 minutes. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out.
