                    The base pudding is a quick self saucing pudding which has been a favourite for 3 generations in our family. The tamarillos and the carob powder (instead of cocoa powder in the original recipe) is my adaptation and a very well received one. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                6 tamarillos  |  
                                                1/3 cup sugar  |  
                                                3/4 cup water  |  
                                                1 cup self-rising flour  |  
                                                3/4 cup sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon carob powder  |  
                                                2 ounces butter  |  
                                                1/2 cup milk  |  
                                                1 teaspoon vanilla  |  
                                                1/3 cup sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon carob powder  |  
                                                1 cup water, approximately  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Peel and poach whole, 6 tamarillos in 3/4 cup water and 1/3 cup of sugar until fruit just cooked. 2. Mix into a bowl: 1 cup SR flour, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tbsp carob powder, and add to this 2 ozs (50 gms) of butter melted in 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla. 3. Drain the syrup liquid that the tamarillos were poached in into a cup. 4. Place tamarillos on the bottom of a deep cooking dish and spoon over the pudding mix. 5. Sauce topping: Sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tbsp carob powder over pudding mix. 6. Make up the syrup liquid to 2 cups by adding hot water and pour over top of the pudding. 7. Cook in a moderate oven 35-45 minutes. 8. Serve with plain ice cream.                              |
