Ingredients
- 200g Sloes,
- 1 tbsp blackberry jam,
- 175g unsalted Butter
- 150g soft light brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp sloe gin
- 235g self-raising flour
- pinch Salt
- caster sugar, to taste
- sweetened whipped Cream, to serve
Directions
Pick over and wash the sloes, then place in a pan and just cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently on the stove until the sloes break down and become pulpy.
Drain and rub through a sieve into a clean pan. Discard the stones, reheat the sloes and sweeten to taste with caster sugar. Leave to cool.
Butter a 2-litre pudding basin and place a disc of baking parchment in the bottom. Mix 2 heaped tablespoons of the sloes with the blackberry jam. Spoon the mixture into the base of the basin and smooth up the sides a little.
Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs a little at a time, then add the gin. Sieve the flour and salt together and fold into the butter and egg mixture. The mixture should be of a dropping consistency: if it's a little dry mix in a little milk to slacken it.
Spoon on top of the jam in the basin and level off with a spatula. Cover with a disc of buttered parchment, then with pleated foil and steam for 1½ - 2 hours.
When cooked, turn onto a serving plate and leave to stand for a few minutes before unmoulding. Serve with sweetened whipped cream.
