  • 1
    Grease an 8-cup (2-litre) pudding steamer; line base with baking paper.
  • 2
    Combine fruit, peel and chocolate in a large bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until just combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add butter mixture to fruit mixture, mix well.
  • 3
    Add stout, breadcrumbs and sifted flour to mixture, mix well.
  • 4
    Spoon mixture into steamer, level top, cover with pleated baking paper and foil to allow the pudding to expand during steaming, secure with a lid or kitchen string.
  • 5
    Place steamer in a large saucepan with enough boiling water to come halfway up side of steamer, cover pan with a tight fitting lid. Simmer, covered, for 6 hours, replenishing with boiling water as necessary to maintain water level. Stand pudding for 5 minutes before turning out.

Notes

Chocolate stout is available from bottle shops or online. You can swap it for a dark stout if you like. Make sure all fruit is chopped to the same size as the sultanas.
