Boil milk, sugar, mixed spice, mixed fruit and butter together in a saucepan. I just waited until the butter had melted then pulled it off the heat
Add rest of ingredients and mix well
Put into greased pudding basin, put baking paper on top, tie with string, then cover with foil
Steam for 2 hours (I just placed the pudding basin into a pot of boiling water)
Serve with custard.
Notes
I used whatever dried fruit I found at the local supermarket that was sulphite free, basically you need 1 cup mixed dried fruit.My new favourite dairy free custard is this cashew based one from quirky cooking.Makes a medium sized pudding.
