Steps:
- Oil a 2-quart steamer mold or pottery bowl very well with vegetable oil and let it stand as you make the pudding.
- Combine the fruits and nuts in a large bowl. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and spices into the fruit and nuts. Add the suet, bread, brown sugar, eggs, and jam and blend well. Beat with a wooden spoon to lighten the mixture. Pour into mold. Cover with circle or parchment paper and put on a rack in a large kettle with enough water to come halfway up the sides. Cover and keep water boiling, replenishing as necessary. Steam for 6 hours.
- Uncover pudding and pour brandy over it; put a piece of waxed paper over pudding; replace parchment and set in a cool place or on low shelf of refrigerator to ripen.
- To serve, steam for 2 more hours and invert on a serving platter. Add the 1 teaspoon sugar to the cognac, heat, pour over warm pudding, and flame with a match. Serve with hard sauce.
PLUM SAUCE RECIPE - GOOD FOOD
Japanese varieties are grown more extensively in Australia than European plums and usually have larger fruit with predominantly red skin tones. The Japanese varieties include all plums collectively known as blood plums. Of these dark-fleshed, spicy plums, the best known are the satsuma and mariposa. Most Japanese plums are classed as cooking plums but they can also be eaten fresh as dessert plums. They also make a terrific plum sauce that is very well-known to mothers and grandmothers, less so to their sons and daughters. And yet it is an outstanding all-purpose barbecue sauce and a splash in the roasting tin after cooking a leg of lamb, before a quick bubble-up with a glass of wine, creates an instant sauce. This sauce keeps for months. I have a bottle in my own cupboard that is two years old. The sauce has become a bit darker over time but still tastes great.

Steps:
Stone plums, then crack half the stones* and tie them in a piece of muslin. Tie spices in another piece of muslin. Put muslin bags, plums, sugar, salt, ginger, vinegar and chilli (if using) into a large non-reactive pot and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Cook steadily for 20 minutes until plums have collapsed. Remove muslin bags and press all juices back into sauce.
Pass sauce through the coarse disc of a food mill and return to rinsed-out pan. Boil steadily for a few minutes until sauce is as thick as you would like it. For a super-smooth sauce use a blender. Remember to only place a small quantity in the flask at a time as the steam will force the lid off and you can burn yourself. (Remember, too, that the sauce will thicken further when it is cold and it ought to be pourable.) Pour into hot, sterilised bottles or jars, seal and label. Leave for at least a week before using.
Makes 2 litres.
* To crack plum stones, place them in a teatowel and give them a moderately hard whack with a meat mallet. Alternatively, use a hammer but be gentle lest the result is fragments, rather than pieces.
