[@EnglishHeritage]

We hope you enjoy this new recipe from Mrs Crocombe! It was a favourite of the Victorian Way crew, and is taken from Avis Crocombe's own recipe book. As always, here are the answers to some questions you may have from our historian, Dr Annie Gray. • Can I make this vegetarian? I don’t like marmalade. Yes, simply swap the suet for vegetarian suet. You can also swap the marmalade for another preserve, thought in our opinion the marmalade is the point. This recipe is very much of its time, and orange marmalade was a very popular flavour. • Can I make this without suet? If you are vegetarian, you can buy vegetarian suet (in the UK it is branded Atora and comes in green packets). If you struggle to get it in a shop, you can buy it online. However, if you are reallly struggling, then butter may work. It won't be as light and mouth-meltingly lovely - suet has some unique cooking properties - but the flavour will still be there. You could also try shortening. Lard would probably be too heavy (and piggy), and margarine is never the answer to anything. Annie says that suet is one of her go-tos in the kitchen, as it makes foolproof pastry and incredible puddings and that suet and mutton are the two things from Mrs Crocombe's kitchen that she'd not want to be without! • Wasn't marmalade invented in Scotland? That’s one of the many pervasive invention myths in food. Marmalade comes from the Spanish word for quince. The orange versions came along in the late 16th century. Scotland does have a long and strong association with marmalade though, especially orange marmalade which was one of the major industries in Dundee for a long time. • Why did the servants eat different food? Tell me more about servants’ food. Mrs Crocombe would have been cooking for three different groups: the family, the ‘upper ten’ and the main body of servants. The upper ten were the most senior staff, and included the governess, housekeeper, butler, personal servants (ladies' maids and valets), and the cook. They ate they dinner separately to the rest of the staff, and had slightly better food. All the servants at a house like Audley End ate reasonably well though, averaging 450g / 1lb of meat a day. Their food was cheap and plain, but there was plenty of it, which was one - very compelling - reason why domestic service was one of the biggest employment areas at the time. • What does this taste like? A gorgeous, sweet-butter cake, pleasingly stodgy and very comforting. When we tested it for The Victorian Way cookery book it was one of our chef team’s favourites.

[@Electroceratops]

Why does Mrs Crocombe add sugar when it wasn't listed among the ingredients, please?

[@Nannaof10]

Is sugar added or not? Although it wasn't listed, she clearly added sugar to the ingredients in the bowl.

[@juliebaker6969]

The best marmalade I've ever had was Key Lime marmalade. My grandparents brought it home from a vacation in Florida. I wish I could find it again.

[@juliebaker6969]

The wine sauce may be considered fancier, but frankly the cream sounds better to me.

[@hannekehartkoorn5987]

Actually, marmalade comes from the Portuguese word for quince, marmelo, and marmalada is still being made in Portugal. Since the treaty of Windsor in the 1300s there was much interaction with Portugal. Much more than with Spain, that most of the time was an enemy.

[@TheHeartyHearth]

For next time, its a very similar result if done in the microwave. A bit sacrilegious talking about microwaving one of Mrs Crocombe's beautiful puddings but needs must, which I'm sure she'd appreciate. And better one done in the microwave than none at all. Alternatively, if you have a pressure cooker or Instantpot then steaming in it will cut the cook time significantly.

[@pixelfu623]

You can do it by using a suitable pot that seals well.Boil for about 20 minutes and then transfer to either a haybox or similar (like the 'wonder cooker' that you can make yourself at home with basic sewing skills.) Let it cook for 4 hours in it's own heat then back on the stove to reheat. Boil for 20 minutes. Or you can try something like Welsh Amber cake which is similar and only takes about half an hour in the oven (though it's flour not breadcrumbs).

There may be hierarchy but she puts her best into them all.
