Apple and Cranberry Puddings

1. First of all, put the dried cranberries in a heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Leave them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
2. Drain the soaked cranberries thoroughly and mix them with the Princes Apple Fruit Filling. Stir in the ground mixed spice and cinnamon.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease 6 individual pudding basins or ramekins with a little margarine. Spoon the fruit filling into the pudding basins or ramekins.
4. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, margarine, unbeaten eggs and vanilla extract. Use a hand-held electric mixer or wooden spoon to beat the mixture together until smooth and creamy – this will only take 1-2 minutes.
5. Spoon the mixture into the pudding basins or ramekins and level the tops. Place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes.
6. Run a knife around the edges of the pudding basins or ramekins and turn out the puddings. Serve with custard.

Cook’s tip: You could use ½ tsp ground mixed spice instead of using a combination of the two spices.
