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.
