Steamed Blackberry Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine pudding ingredients. Pour into a well-greased 4-cup pudding mold. Place in a stockpot on a rack. Fill stockpot with boiling water to 1-in. depth; cover and boil gently. Replace water as needed. Steam for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from mold., Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Add cream and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Serve sauce over warm pudding.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar till light. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt.Add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture, beating smooth after each addition. Stir in lemon juice. Drain berries, reserving the syrup. Carefully fold in berries. Pour batter into a well greased and floured 5 1/2 cup mold; I used a bundt pan. Cover with foil and tie with a string. Place on a rack in a deep saucepan. Add boiling water, 1" deep. Cover and steam for 2 1/2 hours on low heat, adding water if needed. Cool 20 minutes then unmold. Slice and serve with Blackberry Sauce.

Steps:

• Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar and molasses, then mix in the cranberries and flour. Pour into a greased 6 cup steamer mold.
• Cover the mold, and place into a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover the steaming pot. Cook over medium heat for one hour before checking, but it will take about 1 1/2 hours total. A toothpick inserted into the pudding should come out clean. Loosen the edges, and cool on a wire rack in the mold.
• Make the hard sauce just before serving: Heat the unsalted butter, cream, 1 cup sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook stirring constantly until heated through and smooth.

Steps:

• Generously grease a 1.2-litre pudding basin and put your chosen topping in the base. Boil a kettle of water. To prepare your steamer, put a snugly fitting upturned bowl in the base of a large, deep saucepan, big enough to hold the pudding.
• Put the ingredients for the sponge in a food processor and blend until smooth (but don't overwork the mix), then tip into the pudding basin. Cover with a lid made of baking parchment and foil, and tie with string to secure (see step-by-step). Stand the pudding on the upturned bowl in your saucepan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the side of the pudding basin. Set over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and leave to steam for 2½ hrs, topping up with boiling water if the level gets too low.
• Check the pudding is cooked by inserting a skewer through the foil and parchment lid into the centre of the pudding. If the skewer still has some wet mixture on it, return the pudding to the steamer for a further 15-20 mins, then check again. Once cooked, uncover and turn the pudding onto a plate. Serve straight away with custard, if you like.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and mix well.
• Sift dry ingredients together and add alternatively with milk to the first mixture.
• Add berries, taking caution not to crush them.
• Steam in a well-greased 2 quart mold for two hours.
• Serve with sweetened cream flavored with vanilla extract.
