So usually in the winter, I like to make English Style steamed puddings. But my son-in-law brought something new to me over, a 25 pound jackfruit. I love this fruit, but had an over abundance of fruit. So I figured, why not a steamed pudding. Searching turned up nothing, so took a couple other recipes, and came up with this recipe. After eating the first one, and it was so good, I made a second one, which I recorded here. Now here is where it gets weird. A mistake was made, that turned out really nice. I accidentally used parmesan seasoned bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. Yes, weird, but it gave it a slight change that turned out wonderful. Think of the difference between a regular caramel, and a salted caramel, almost the same, but a slight difference that just adds that little something extra. If it's too weird for you, use regular bread crumbs. It is still exceptional. No I have not tried canned jackfruit. A steamed pudding is super dense and moist. It is best served with a sauce, like hard sauce or custard sauce. But whipped cream is nice, some like a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Steps

180 mins

1

Measure out your fresh jackfruit
2

This is what it looks like, seeds have been removed prior to this.
3

Chop your jackfruit up, I just pulsed it in my food processor until it was about raisin sized. It was somewhere around 2 cups (give or take) like this.
4

Add the milk and jackfruit together, place on a pot on medium low heat to warm it (not cook) through and pull out some of the fruit flavor. About 10 minutes, Do not boil.
5

Mix all dry, ingredients together in a bowl, set aside.
6

Melt butter
7

Add eggs to a bowl. Wisk them together. Add melted butter while whisking, wisk until frothy.
8

Add Orange zest/flavor, whisk in. Add bread crumbs.
9

Mix bread crumbs with egg mixture, it will be thick.
10

Add fruit milk mixture and stir in. Notice I switched from a wire whisk to a spatula.
11

Add dry mixture, stir together
12

If using nuts, add now and stir in. I didn't use any this time, it's very good either way.
13

Now it's time to decide how you want to cook it. A pudding mold in a stream bath (what I do) or a Bundt pan in a water bath in the oven. If you are using the oven method, preheat oven to 350 F.
14

Oil spray your cooking pan of choice, and spoon the pudding into it.
15

Cover the pan with lid, or foil. Pudding mold, I use a Dutch oven with a spacer from my pressure cooker. If using a bundt pan, get a casserole or oven safe pan large enough to put your bundt pan in.
16

Add enough water to come up about 2/3 the way, or as much as the pan you are using safely allows.
17

If using the pudding mold, bring water to a simmer, cover Dutch oven. For the oven method, place in oven. It maybe safer to add water once it is in the oven.
18

Cook for 3 hours. Check water level every so often, add more if required.
19

Allow to cool, and remove lid
20

If you had it in the refrigerator to cool, I submerge partially in warm water to warm the mold and loosen the pudding, and invert onto a plate.
21

Slice into smallish pieces, it's so dense and moist, this is just the way to do it. (trust me, big is not always better)
22

Bare piece, before sauce or whipped cream

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
