Billycan pudding

[nokiwime]

Ingredients

One and a half cups of raisins
Half a cup of sultanas
One cup of sugar (or less if you prefer a more grown up taste)
Half a teaspoon of mixed spice and cinnamon
Two cups of flour
One teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda


Method

Combine all the ingredients
Mix well with 500mls of boiling hot tea
Empty into a greased and floured billycan (if it has a spout, put some baking paper over the hole )
Cover and let it stand overnight
Steam it for three and a half hours (stand it in your camp oven in water which you'll need to top up regularly)
Let it sit for a little while (pondering how turn it out of the can) and then serve it up
