MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      1 lg Egg
    300 g  (10 1/2 oz) icing sugar
    150 g  (5 oz) butter; melted
      1    Vanilla pod; seeds scraped
           - out
    200 ml (7 fl oz) cream; whipped
           - until soft peaks form
 
  Butter a 1 litre/2 pint pudding basin.
  
  Mix the flour, currants, raisins, breadcrumbs, sugar,
  suet, mixed spice, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a
  large bowl.
  
  Add the plums and apple pieces.
  
  Add the orange zest and juice, the rum and the eggs and
  mix well.
  
  Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until the
  mixture will drop from the spoon when pulled from the
  bowl (dropping consistency).
  
  Place the plum mixture into the pudding basin and cover
  with greaseproof paper or a pudding cloth. Secure the
  paper or cloth with kitchen string.
  
  Using a pan with a lid large enough to comfortably
  contain the pudding basin, half-fill the pan with
  boiling water. Add the pudding basin and cover with the
  lid. Steam the pudding for three hours. Replenish the
  water level if necessary.
  
  Remove the basin from the pan and allow to cool
  slightly.
  
  For the sauce, whisk the egg for five minutes until
  light and foaming.
  
  Add the sugar, butter and vanilla seeds and whisk well.
  
  Carefully fold in the whipped cream until well combined.
  
  To serve, spoon out the plum pudding onto plates and
  spoon the sauce alongside.
  
  Serves: 6 - 8
