Steamed Orange Pudding ◆ 1940s / WW2 Era Recipe

★ About this recipe: Recently having celebrated the 75th Anniversary of VE Day and 80th Anniversary of the Dunkirk Evacuations (Operation Dynamo), we have been cooking up many genuine WW2 recipes from our copy of the Manual of Modern Cookery, 7th Edition which was published in October 1943.

This lovely orange pudding was one of them. It looks and tastes like sunshine ☀️🍊☀️. It's a perfect for summertime and would make a great centrepiece for any type of celebration - particularly those focusing on remembrance ❤️️

The good thing about steamed puddings is that they don't take too long to prepare but take quite a long time to steam (2 hours in our case). That gives time to cook and eat a dinner or other treats in the time it takes for the pudding to steam, and a sensible time-frame to finish some chores or get other tasks done while you wait.
