NOTE:
One of the advantages of using your Microwave to
make this traditional pudding is that it can be made
the week before Christmas and stored in a cool dry
place. Do not attempt to make the pudding earlier
than this, since the flavour will not improve with
keeping, unlike a traditionally steamed pudding.
