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.

The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Elevated consumption of animal-based products could lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which a few authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Remember, one point that is frequently overlooked, it is damned hard (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, cabbage, scarlet runner bean and basil)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.

The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
