1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs (2 slices) may be gluten-free if desired

Soak these for at least 12 hours in fridge.

1 tablesp melted butter

1 ½ teasp bicarbonate of soda

Cover each with greaseproof paper. One can be stored in refrigerator for a day or freeze.

Place covered bowl of mixture in a deep saucepan in 6 cm boiling water. Place a small plate over the paper to prevent steam entering under the paper.

      I have been making this pudding for over 40 years now. Each family can decide just how much dried fruit they want but since the pudding serves several people the amount each has is not great. Don’t forget to make sure you add the bicarb at the end as that is what makes it have the rick dark colour. Enjoy! Joan

      Have you found Crispy Fruits Pure Pear freeze dried pear from Think Products. It is even peeled so as low as you can go in pear salicylate! It is the perfect snack to store in your car so you always have something. Small children can be taught it is may be a ‘scratchy’ food but if small bites are taken and sucked on it becomes soft and enjoyable. And it is also the best pear  for the Sago plum pudding. Enjoy!
