Traditional Nottinghamshire Mansfield Pudding

Mix together suet (or butter), breadcrumbs, and sugar.

Add grated apples, raisins, and sultanas to the mixture.

Beat in eggs, a splash of milk, and plenty of warm winter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

Pour into a buttered pudding basin.

Cover with parchment and foil, then steam in a large pot of boiling water for 3 hours.

Turn out and serve piping hot with a rich vanilla custard.
