Answer 4

Summer Rice Mould

Ingredients

Serves: 4

25 Gram Short grain rice (1 oz)

600 ml Milk (1 pint)

1 Teaspoon Grated nutmeg

1 Tablespoon Sugar

1 Tablespoon Gelatine

50 Gram Flaked almonds, toasted (2 oz)

300 ml Double cream, whipped ( 1/2 pint)

3 Peaches, peeled and chopped

Method

Place the rice, milk, nutmeg and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Dissolve the gelatine in 2 tablespoons of hot water and allow to cool slightly. Leave the rice mixture until almost cold before adding the almonds and gelatine. Stir well.

Fold in the whipped cream and chopped peaches. Pour into a 900 ml (1 1/2 pint) jelly mould and leave to set. To turn out, immerse the mould in hot water for a few seconds before turning onto a plate.

NOTE: When dissolving gelatine, add the gelatine to the liquid (not the other way round) and use hot, not boiling water, to prevent a stringy end result.

This is a great site, with another 50+ puddings at a guess.

It's well worth a look

Answer 5

Answer 6

It's a bit unusual but i made it up when i was a kid, used to cook it for my old nan and me, chicken and tinned tomato suet pudding, prepare your suet dough, it's simple: chuck half a pound flour approx in a basin, add pinch salt and nice lot pepper, add quarter pkt suet or make it cheaper use margarine or even two table spoon fulls of cooking oil, add quarter cup water and mix together with a fork, then put half of dough into a medium sized basin, keep other half dough for the pudding top.

Next prepare the chicken, boil with bit salt in water for twenty minutes, then put onto small plate and cut into strips, get your tin tomatoes and open, get the pudding lined basin over and get the chicken strips, push them into the sides of the dough, and into the bottom of the dough, now fill up pudding with tin of tomatoes and the juice, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Put the pudding and basin into a large saucepan fill halfway with water and boil with lid on for two hours, magnifico, good eating.
