Directions
1Place fruit & nuts in bowl pour rum over to soak.
2Cream butter & sugar then beat in a couple of eggs at a time.
3Fold flour and spice into mixture then add fruit & nuts.
4Boil a metre square bleached calico then spread out on bench and sprinkle with flour.
5Empty pudding mixture into centre then tie cloth securely allowing some room for rising.
6Pour boiling water into slow cooker.
7*If your slow cooker bowl is ceramic it is wise to warm up the bowl with some warm water first and then tip it out before adding the pudding/boiling water as pouring boiling water into a cold ceramic bowl can potentially cause it to crack*

9Drain water off when cooked and let it cool in the cooker.
10Serve with hot custard.

Slow Cooker! Why didn’t I think of that. I have been making plum duff for years using my dear mother’s recipe. It’s a bit different but I am using methods from the 1920’s and use a gas burner and a big boiler. Mum used to use the wood copper!! Next one I will try the slow cooker, thanks.
