Clootie refers to the cloth that
this fruit pudding is traditionally
made in. Delicious served hot with
jam and/or cream or custard or
ice-cream. Leftovers can be fried
in a wee bit of butter to re-heat.
Normally served on Xmas day but
still many Scots have this treat a
few times a year. Many recipe
variations exist, but whilst all
roughly similar, they do taste very
different. This recipe is from Ma
Broon, a classic and now cult
family cartoon series in Scotland,
but the same as my family has been
using for a long long time, we
simply measured the quantities to
be able to put into a recipe.
