Recipe
Preparation
Sieve the flour and mix it with the breadcrumbs, brown sugar and
spices. Melt the butter or vegetable fat gently with the treacle. Mix
the breadcrumbs, currants and sultanas. Beat the egg and milk
together and add to the dry ingredients, with the grated carrot and
apple - use you hands. Add more milk if necessary to give a soft
mixture which drops easily from the spoon. Put a square of cotton
sheet in the pot of boiling water with an upturned plate on the
bottom. Take out the scalded cloth, spinkle it with flour and put in
the dumpling. Draw up the edges, and tie up firmly with white string,
leaving enough room for the pudding to expand. Lower the dumpling
back into the boiling pan. Keep water topped up. Bring back to the
boil. Boil steadily but gently for 4 hours. It can be longer but it
shouldn't be less. Remove the dumpling and dip it staight in and out
of cold water. Unwrap the dumpling on to a serving plate. The skin
will initially be white from the flour. Put the dumpling on its plate
in a very low oven to dry off for 20 minutes, when it will develop a
fine, dark glossy skin. Meanwhile, make the ginger cream. Beat the
wine with the egg yolks over hot water until the mixture is thick,
white and fluffy. Stir in 1/4 pint single cream. Serve it in a pretty
glass jug, with the hot pudding. The dumpling cuts wonderfully rich
and dark. Leftover slices are delicious fried in butter - lovely with
cream for a special tea-time treat.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a soy baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In many cases, you may adapt your best loved recipes that use white flour to use these.
* Don't miss meals
Most low carb recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbohydrates. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a quick acting source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires great care in managing your energy levels, as any energy contributed by protein and fat is far slower to act.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes citrus fruits, brussels sprouts, scarlet runner bean and cayenne)
The flavonoids found in these natural foods are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in fighting cancer.
Nutritionalists researching the medical effects of flavonoids think they also have many other benefits to our health, amongst them, antiviral and antioxidant powers.
Most also have a low calorie count, so should be a part of every weight loss program.
