Ingredients

• 2 cups Grated carrots
• 1 cup Grated potatoes
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1 cup Currants
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Grease a large pudding mold or heat-safe bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, grated potatoes, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.

Step 3

Stir in raisins, currants, and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle in ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create a thick batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared pudding mold, filling it no more than two-thirds full to allow for expansion.

Step 8

Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil or its lid, ensuring no steam can enter.

Step 9

Place the mold in a large pot on a steaming rack. Add enough boiling water to the pot to come halfway up the sides of the mold.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam over medium-low heat for 2 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the water level is maintained (add more boiling water as needed).

Step 11

After 2 hours, carefully remove the pudding mold from the pot and allow it to cool slightly before uncovering.

Step 12

Invert the pudding onto a serving plate and serve warm with your favorite custard, cream, or brandy sauce. Enjoy!
