Finely crumble the bread crumb. In a bowl, mix the suet, cornstarch, sugar, breadcrumbs, zest and remaining raisins. Beat the eggs with the marmalade in another bowl, then stir into the dry mixture. Spoon into the basin without displacing the raisins on the base.

Cover the basin with baking paper and then foil, pleating both across the middle to allow expansion. Tie firmly around the rim. Put the basin in a pan of boiling water and steam at a simmer for 90 minutes. Check the water regularly: it must always reach at least a quarter of the basin height. Top up with hot water as needed.
