Plum Pudding 1/2 cup butter, softened. 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 3 large eggs. 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon grated orange zest 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 cans (15 ounces each) plums, drained, pitted and chopped 1-3/4 cups chopped dates. 1 cup golden raisins 1 cup shredded carrots 1/2 cup dried currants Hard Sauce: 1/2 cup butter, softened 3 cups confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup dark rum
Generously grease an 8-cup pudding mold, metal gelatin mold or ovenproof bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, mix bread crumbs, flour, orange zest, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in plums, dates, raisins, carrots and currants. Transfer to prepared pudding mold. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil; tie foil with kitchen string to secure. Place on a rack in a stockpot; add 3 in. hot water to pot. Bring water to a gentle boil; steam cake, covered, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 2 to 2-1/2 hours, adding more water to pot as needed. Remove pudding from pot; let stand 5 minutes before unmolding. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat hard sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Unmold pudding onto a serving plate; serve warm with sauce
