Last night a dozen or so brave souls trekked through the snow for our evening service.  So, with enough pudding ingredients to feed the 5000, everyone went home with a least two puddings, and so took more.  The left over mix made a 2 pint one which is now starting its 8 hour steam, and some is in a square box until I find a contained to steam it in!

I steamed the four little ones last night (2 hours) and this morning, now they're cooled, I tipped one out to see if it was edible!!  It looks more stodgy than it is, and the teaspoonful I tried tastes great - really fruity.  Quite a 'light' colour for Christmas pud but it seems it worked.  Phew.
