Steam for 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your mold. Serve hot with hard sauce. If you are not serving the pudding immediately, store in the refrigerator soaking in 1 ounce of brandy. Add 1 ounce each week.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan simmer the 2 1/2 c plums and juice for 6 - 8 minutes over low-moderate heat. Cool, remove the pits from the plums and discard the pits. Drain the plums, reserving the juice (for the sauce) and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
• In a mixing bowl beat the brown sugar and melted butter together. Add the eggs, beating in well and blend in the plums. In another bowl sift together the flour, salt, and soda and add to the plum mixture, stirring gently. Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart mold with a cover. Pour the better into the mold. Cover the mold with the top or foil and place on a rack in a large kettle. Fill the kettle with water to reach halfway up the side of the mold. Cover the kettle and bring to a simmer over low heat. Steam for one hour.
• Remove the steamed mold from the kettle, uncover and place place in a 400 degree oven for 2 - 3 minutes to dry the top slightly. Cool the pudding for a few minutes unmold onto a warm serving plate.

• Spoon the mixture into the pudding mould or bowl. Make a cover for the mould with 2 layers of aluminum foil and butter the side of the foil next to the pudding. Tie string around the foil cover to keep it tight.
• Set the canning rack in the large pot. Set the covered pudding on top. Carefully pour some boiling water down the side of the large pot until it comes half way up the pudding mould.
• Set the large pot over high heat until the water boils. Turn the heat down to medium low and put the lid on. (If needed, add more water during the cooking.).
• Steam the pudding for 3 hours. Insert a clean toothpick into the centre of the pudding (right through the foil). If it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If pudding clings to the toothpick, check again in 15 minutes.
• When the pudding is done, use oven mitts to remove it from the large pot. Remove the foil and let the pudding stand for 10 minutes.

• Check water level in pot occasionally, adding more boiling water if needed.
• Remove foil from mold.
• Let pudding rest in pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
• When completely cool, wrap in foil and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in freezer.
• If frozen, let thaw before heating.
• To reheat, return pudding to mold, cover and steam for about 1 hour or until heated through.
• Serve warm with hard sauce.
• For hard sauce:.
• Thoroughly Cream butter and sifted confectioners sugar together.
• Add 1-2 teaspoons vanilla (or rum or brandy) and beat well.
• Spread in 8x8" pan and place in refrigerator to harden.
• Cut into small squares to serve on warm slices of the pudding.
• The hard sauce could also be chilled in individual butter molds; or a bowl to be spooned onto the pudding in lumps.
• Note: For a dramatic entrance, just before serving, I soak a few sugar cubes in almond extract. Then I place them together on top the pudding, light them with a match, turn out all the lights, and deliver the flaming pudding to the table (usually accompanied by a Happy Birthday song to Jesus).
