Recipe was taken from McCall CookBook, the chapter on “Desserts and Dessert Sauces”, page 299 an edition of between 1950 – 1960s. The original recipe was “Steamed Apple Pudding” , but less apples was added and substituted with the raisins and mixed candied peel that I had soaking. However, the pudding was steamed in a pudding mold instead of in a bowl as the recipe notes, but method number 5 remains the same with waxed paper and the pudding mold top instead of the foil.
Pudding is quite delicious.
