Soaked fruit brings concentrated sweetness and moisture, while apple and breadcrumbs keep the pudding tender. Long, gentle steaming melds the spices and brandy into a rich, cohesive crumb without drying the fruit.
Cool the pudding completely in its basin, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. For longer keeping, wrap the pudding and basin securely and freeze for up to 3 months.
Steam the refrigerated pudding for 90 minutes to 2 hours, or the frozen pudding for about 3 hours, until piping hot throughout. Check that the center reaches at least 74°C before serving.
