Cook your favorite “Plum Pudding” recipe in a can set inside a slow cooker on a metal rack or trivet. Pour about 2 cups warms water around it. The water helps steam the pudding. Cover the can tightly with foil to keep the cake dry. Cover the cooker with its lid. Cook on High. —Eleanor J. Ferreira, North Chelmsford, MA
