Description

Directions

• Combine the coconut flour, spelt flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and a pinch of sea salt in a large bowl and whisk to aerate.
• In a separate bowl, combine the apple juice, soy milk, rice syrup, orange zest and vanilla and whisk to combine.
• Fold into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the diced apples, cranberries and walnuts and mix well.
• Lightly oil two 500 ml pudding tins and line with muslin cloth. Spoon the mixture evenly between each tin. Cover the top of each with a square of baking paper, then wrap a piece of foil tightly over the top, securing the "lids" with kitchen string.
• Place the puddings in a large, deep saucepan and pour in enough hot water to come two-thirds up the side of the tins – you may need to do this in two batches. Bring the water to the boil, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over low heat for 90 minutes, making sure the water level is kept high and refilling with water as needed. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then turn out onto plates.
• To make the glaze, bring the orange juice and maple syrup to the boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the kuzu mixture to the pan and stir for 2 minutes, or until the syrup is thick and clear. Ladle the glaze over each pudding. Serve warm or at room temperature.
