  • ¼ cup mango dried, chopped
  • ¼ cup pineapple dried, chopped
  • ¼ cup apricot dried, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 2 Tbsp Medjool dates pitted and chopped
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp orange liquor
  • 3 tsp orange zest
  • ½ cup dairy-free butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup apple puree
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ginger ground
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg ground
  • ¼ tsp allspice

Instructions

  • Combine the cranberries, raisins, sultanas, mango, apricot, pineapple, pecans, dates, orange zest, orange juice and liquor in a bowl and leave the mixture for 2 hours for the fruit to soften.
  • Beat together the dairy-free butter and sugar.
  • Stir in all the other ingredients.
  • Grease the pudding bowl with coconut oil.
  • Pour in the mixture.
  • Place a circle of baking paper on top. Cover the top of the pudding bowl in parchment paper and tie it on with string.
  • Fold the paper up so that it doesn’t touch the water.
  • Place the pudding bowl in a large pan.
  • Add enough water so that its level will come up to two-thirds of the bowl.
  • The pudding needs to steam for three to four hours. Make sure to check the water level every 30 minutes.
  • When it has steamed, a cake skewer will come out cleanly.
  • Wrap and keep in the fridge for 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Warm up before serving.
