Marmalade Pudding

Ingredients

• 6 ounces Fresh beef suet, finely chopped (Can substitute with vegetable shortening or butter)
• 2 ounces Brown sugar (Moist sugar refers to brown sugar)
• 4 ounces Fresh breadcrumbs (Well-grated, about 1 cup)
• 0.5 pint Whole milk (About 1 cup)
• 3 whole Large eggs, separated (Yolks and whites used separately)
• 1 pound Orange marmalade (About 1.5 cups)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (For meringue topping)
• 1 teaspoon Orange flower water (Optional flavoring for meringue)
• 2 tablespoons Butter, for greasing (For buttering the dish)

Instructions

1. 1Shred the fresh beef suet and chop it up very fine until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2. 2In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped suet with the brown sugar and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3. 3Stir in the milk gradually, mixing well to ensure all ingredients are evenly moistened.
4. 4Separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Beat the yolks until smooth and well combined.
5. 5Add the well-beaten egg yolks to the mixture and whisk all ingredients together vigorously for 15 minutes until light and well combined.
6. 6Set the bowl on a cold surface (such as a marble slab or in the refrigerator) and let it stand for 1 hour to firm up.
7. 7Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Butter a pudding dish or mould thickly, ensuring all surfaces are well coated.
8. 8Place a layer of the pudding mixture in the bottom of the dish, then spread a layer of marmalade over it. Continue alternating layers of mixture and marmalade until all the mixture is used, ending with a layer of mixture on top.
9. 9Whisk the reserved egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the granulated sugar and orange flower water, and continue whisking until glossy and well combined.
10. 10Spread or pipe the meringue froth over the top of the layered pudding, covering the surface completely.
11. 11Place the pudding in the preheated moderate oven (325°F/160°C) and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the pudding is set and the meringue is lightly golden.
12. 12Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Can be served hot or cold.
