INSTRUCTIONS
CUSTARD SAUCE
1. Heavily grease deep 2 1/2-quart heat-safe bowl. Cut foil 1 inch large
than top of bowl to use as cover. Grease 1 side of foil well; set aside.
2. In blender at medium speed or in food processor with knife blade
attached, blend dates and apple juice until smooth; set aside.
4. In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat sugar and butter or
margarine just until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and
fluffy. Add eggs, next 5 ingredients, and date mixture; beat at low speed
until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 1 minute, occasionally
scraping bowl with rubber spatula. With rubber spatula, gently fold in
chopped apple and walnuts. Spoon pudding mixture into prepared bowl. Cover
bowl with foil, greased side down, tying tightly with string.
4. Set bowl on rack in 8-12 quart saucepan. Pour in water to come halfway
up side of bowl, nut touching foil. Over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce
heat to low; cover and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until skewer inserted
through foil into center of pudding comes out clean.
5. About 30 minutes before pudding is done, prepare Custard Sauce.
6. When pudding is done, cool in bowl on wire rack 10 minutes; loosen
pudding with metal spatula and invert into warm platter. Garnish pudding
