Stir in 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and a pinch of salt.

Let the mixture boil for about 10-15 minutes on high heat to melt the butter and combine flavors.

After boiling, reduce the heat to low to prevent burning.

Cover the pot and let it steam on low heat for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a basin and press it down with a spoon.

Invert the basin onto a plate to remove the pudding.

Let it cool for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
