Plum Preserves
The bottom of the pudding mold should be above the
gently boiling water at all times so that the pudding is cooked by
steam. It may take some ingenuity to find a way to raise the pudding
above the water. Kluger wrote: "I steamed one pudding in a vegetable
blancher, placing my canning funnel upside down in the perforated basket
and placing the pudding mold on top of that. The second 'steamer' was
contrived by placing a flat-bottomed colander upside down in the bottom
of a hot-water-bath kettle. This made a nice platform for the pudding to
stand on - about 2" above the bottom of the pan. Allow ample space
between the pudding and the sides of the kettle so the steam can
circulate."
Note: If you want to freeze one of the puddings, cool it after
steaming. Wrap in moisture-vapor-proof freezer wrap and store at 0 F.
for up to 1 year. When ready to eat, unwrap and thaw loosely covered in
the refrigerator. Then return to the pudding mold and steam as directed
above for serving.
