Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 125 gram butter
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup sultanas

Method

  • 1
    Butter a 3-cup pudding bowl well. Spoon the marmalade into the base.
  • 2
    Dissolve the brown sugar in the orange juice.
  • 3
    Cream the butter and egg yolks, then add the juice/sugar mixture and continue beating.
  • 4
    Mix in the flour, baking powder, zest and sultanas.
  • 5
    Beat the egg whites until soft peaks have formed and gently fold into the pudding mixture. Scrape into the pudding basin containing the marmalade.
  • 6
    Cover tightly with 2 layers of foil and tie to ensure it is well sealed.
  • 7
    Place in a large saucepan and pour in boiling water to come about halfway up the bowl. Cover, bring to a simmer and steam for 1 hour.
  • 8
    Remove the pudding, cool for 5 minutes and un-mould onto a plate.
  • 9
    Serve warm with custard, ice cream, yoghurt and/or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For an even more gourmet version, heat ¼ cup of marmalade with a little orange juice and Grand Marnier, then pour over the pudding when serving. - Put a couple of teaspoons at the bottom of the saucepan so the basin isn’t sitting on the base of the pot. - A piece of old stocking is perfect for securing the foil – it stretches, so you can get it nicely tight.
