Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup grated raw carrots
1 cup grated raw potatoes
Cooking spray
Aluminum foil
String
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
2 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Spray a 1 1/2 quart (1.4L) baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Rinse raisins in a bowl of water and let plump in water for a few minutes while assembling the rest of your ingredients.Remove from water and dry on paper towel. Set aside.
In a bowl mix together 1 cup of flour, sugar, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Add raisins, carrots and potatoes mixing until combined.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with a piece of foil and secure foil in place by tying string around the outside of the baking dish.
Place dish in large saucepan in steamer or on trivet and pour water in around the edges about half way up your baking dish. Bring to a boil, then drop to a simmer and cover. You will need to keep an eye on the water level in the saucepan to ensure it doesn't go dry. Keep adding water as necessary.
Steam for 2-3 hours. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Serve with Vanilla Sauce.

Notes

To make vanilla sauce: Mix together sugar, flour and salt. In a saucepan over medium-high heat scald your milk. Turn heat down a little and add in dry ingredients whisking until combined. Keep whisking until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Serve over steamed pudding.
