What can I say about the pudding itself ... it seems to me that this is an absolutely winter version. It is very sweet, dense, somewhat reminiscent of a Christmas cake with dried fruits, but with a more moist texture. By the way, it was quite possible to splash a drop of rum into it! I added a handful of my favorite dried cherries.
