Sticky Date Pudding

Moist, caramel-rich date pudding smothered in a warm butterscotch sauce. Soaking the dates in boiling water with a little bicarb before mashing them in is what softens them into the batter completely, giving the pudding its dense, sticky texture rather than leaving chewy flecks throughout.
