INGREDIENTS METHOD

1 x 250g pack Whitworths Chopped Dates
100g Whitworths Juicy Raisins
200ml golden rum
150g butter, softened plus extra for greasing
50g light brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
375g self-raising flour
1tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp mixed spice
50ml milk
For the sticky toffee sauce: 75g light brown sugar
2tbsp treacle
75g butter
2tbsp golden syrup
150ml double cream

In a small saucepan on a low heat, add the chopped dates, raisins, rum and 100ml water.
Gently cook for 5 minutes until steaming. Set aside to cool.
For the toffee sauce, add all the ingredients (apart from the cream) into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer on low heat. Cook for 5 minutes until the sugar has melted.
Pour in the cream and stir to incorporate. Cook for 2 minutes then remove from the heat to thicken as it cools.
Generously grease the inside of a 1.5L pudding basin or bowl (which fits into a saucepan) with butter.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric whisk or in a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter together. While whisking, gradually add the egg mixture until each bit is well combined.
Fold in the flour, spices, rum-soaked fruit and milk until a thick batter forms.
In the greased bowl, pour in a quarter of the toffee sauce followed by all the pudding batter.
Place a large sheet of foil on top of a large sheet of baking paper, then fold in half to create a crease down the middle.
Place the foil and paper on top of the bowl, parchment-side down then tie securely with string.
Place the bowl into a large saucepan then fill the pan halfway with boiling water so it goes halfway up the bowl. Cover and cook for 2 hours and 30 mins, topping up the water if needed.
Cook until an inserted skewer comes out clean, it may need an extra 20 minutes.
To serve, warming the remaining toffee sauce, remove the pudding from the bowl and pour over. Serve with custard, cream or ice cream and dig in!
