Traditional Sussex Plum Duff

Mix flour, shredded suet (or cold butter), sugar, and dried mixed fruit in a bowl.

Bind together with a little cold water to form a firm dough.

Shape into a log and wrap tightly in a floured cloth, tying the ends securely.

Place the log into boiling water and boil steadily for 1.5 to 2 hours.

Remove from cloth and slice thickly.

Traditionally served with a simple custard or golden syrup.
