"It has been many years since i made a spotted dick dessert, growing up we loved steamed puddings and Mom made them often. I haven't made them since our boys were young, they are an inexpensive dessert and quite delicious. we often used fruits other than raisins, especially apples, but then of course it wasn't spotted dick, just steamed apple pudding. Any dried fruit would be good to use, dried cranberries would be especailly nice and dried blueberries, dried cherries, dried apricot etc. We also always partnered the steamed puddings with a sauce to serve over it, usually a vanilla or lemon sauce. (I had to look this up, couldn't remember the quantities and couldn't find one of Mom's recipes, but this is pretty much as i remember - revised from Robert's Recipes)"
