This is one of my mam's traditional recipes. As a child we had this with the first blackberries of the season. It always makes me think of the transition between summer and autumn.
Ingredients:
400g blackberries (or sufficient to fill), washed and cleaned
4 tbsp sugar
450g plain flour
180g suet
pinch of salt
Method:
Place the flour, suet and salt in a bowl and mix together before adding sufficient water to form a stiff dough. Cut 2/3 of the dough and roll out on a floured board. Use to line the base and sides of a 1l heat-proof bowl. Tip the fruit into this and add the sugar.
Roll out the remaining dough and use to cover the pudding. Cut a circle of greaseproof paper and use this to cover the pudding. Tightly cover the entire dessert in a double layer of foil, place in a steamer and boil for 2 hours. When ready remove the foil and greaseproof paper and tip the pudding onto a bowl. Slice and serve with ice-cold milk.
