  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 100 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (157 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 60 g Guava, raw
  • 15 g Sugar
  • 30 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 1 g Baking powder
  • 16 g Butter, unsalted
  • 15 g Milk, whole
  • 0.2 g Salt
  • 15 g Sugar, brown
  • 5 g Spirits

Method

  1. Makes 1 portion; multiply by 8 for a whole duff. For the full batch, mash the guava with two-thirds of the sugar into a chunky compote and simmer 5 minutes until slightly thickened; cool.
  2. Make a soft dough from the flour, baking powder, salt, half the butter, and the remaining sugar, loosened with the milk; roll it into a rectangle, spread the guava compote over it, and roll up into a log along the long edge.
  3. Wrap the log snugly in cheesecloth or foil, tying the ends, and lower it into a large pot of gently boiling water; boil about 1.5 hours, topping up water as needed, until the dough is cooked through.
  4. Unwrap and slice. For the sauce, melt the remaining butter with the brown sugar in a small pan until dissolved, then stir in the rum and simmer 1 minute.
  5. Spoon the warm rum-butter sauce over each slice and serve warm.
