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.
