7. 1 cup chopped dates

9. 1 cup brandy
10. 1 cup all-purpose flour
11. 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
12. 1 cup suet (or vegetable shortening for a vegetarian option)
13. 1 cup dark brown sugar
14. 1 tsp baking powder
15. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
16. 1 tsp ground nutmeg
17. 1 tsp ground ginger
18. 1 tsp ground cloves
19. 1 tsp salt
20. 3 eggs, beaten
21. 1 cup milk
Instructions:
To start, prepare all the dried fruits by soaking them in brandy overnight. This will help to plump them up and infuse them with the rich flavor of the brandy.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, breadcrumbs, suet, brown sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt. Add in the soaked fruits and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter into a greased pudding basin or mold. Cover with a layer of parchment paper and then a layer of aluminum foil, securing tightly with string or a rubber band.
Place the pudding in a large pot and fill with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the pudding steam for 6-8 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the water hasn't evaporated.
Once the pudding is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before unmolding onto a serving plate.
Serve the pudding warm with your choice of brandy or rum sauce, custard, or vanilla ice cream. Leftover pudding can also be reheated by steaming for 1-2 hours.
