  As someone who doesn't like Christmas pudding this is a great alternative! Easy to make and looks spectacular, but most importantly tastes fabulous. Much admired at a pre Christmas dinner party and I was asked for the recipe. Bought a pudding tin for a reasonable price from Amazon. Would definitely make this again.
