How to Make Fruit Cocktail Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all batter ingredients using a wooden spoon until well blended.
  3. Grease a large pie dish generously with butter or cooking spray.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the pudding bakes, prepare the topping: In a small saucepan, combine all topping ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  7. Remove the pudding from the oven. Immediately prick the top of the pudding all over with a knife to allow the topping to penetrate.
  8. Carefully pour the hot topping evenly over the warm pudding.
  9. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla custard!
