Cover base of a 2 litre rimmed pudding bowl with a circle of greaseproof paper. Add pudding mixture. Give bowl a sharp tap to settle mixture. Cover with greaseproof paper round and pleated foil. Tie securely. Place on a trivet or upturned saucer in a large saucepan. Fill saucepan with boiling water to come halfway up sides of bowl, cover saucepan and steam for 3 to 4 hours, topping up with boiling water when necessary.

Turn out, sprinkle with warmed brandy and ignite. Serve with thick cream or custard

Hint: Do all the chopping of fruit etc. a day or two before. Then you just have to throw it all together on the day.
