Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for bowl and parchment
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup coarsely chopped candied ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon apricot jam

Steps:

  • Butter a 5-cup heatproof pudding basin or mixing bowl. Cut a parchment circle to fit top of bowl; butter. Fill a large pot fitted with a steamer or pasta insert with enough water to come halfway up bowl (test this with an empty bowl); set aside.
  • Stir together flour, baking powder, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches. Add chopped ginger, honey, and milk; mix until just combined.
  • Spoon jam into bottom of prepared bowl. Pour batter on top; smooth with a spatula. Cover bowl with prepared parchment, buttered side down. Place a tea towel on top, and secure with kitchen twine. Knot opposing corners of towel together on top of bowl.
  • Bring water in prepared pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully lower pudding bowl into steamer; cover pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Steam 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure water doesn't completely evaporate. Transfer to a wire rack; remove towel and parchment. Let cool 10 minutes. Run a small knife around edge of bowl; invert pudding onto a plate. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet apricots. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor.
  • Use a variety of greens. This will add texture and color to your salad. Some good options include baby spinach, arugula, and romaine.
  • Don't be afraid to add other fruits and vegetables. This is a great way to customize your salad and make it your own. Some good options include berries, peaches, almonds, and walnuts.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the greens from wilting. You can also top the salad with a sprinkle of feta cheese or goat cheese.
