Method
In a large bowl, mix together flour, breadcrumbs, spices, nuts and sugar (push the sugar through a metal sieve to remove any lumps).
Add apple to bowl, then throw in remaining ingredients (except kumquats) and mix thoroughly. Spoon into pudding basins, cover with baking parchment, tie with soaked string then cover with foil, pressing it down to seal.
Sit mixture in a saucepan, then fill with boiling water so it comes almost halfway up sides of bowl. Cover with a lid and cook for about 3 hrs, making sure you top up with water when needed. Turn off heat and leave to cool in pan. Turn out, then serve on a plate or cake stand, decorated with frosted kumquats.
