  Does this keep well? Can it be made now and then re-steamed for a couple of hours on Christmas Day?

  Christmas Pud recipes without alcohol shouldn't be made too far in advance, because it's the alcohol which stops them going moldy.

  I made this when it was first in the magazine and have had it requested ever since. I have passed the recipe on to my sister who loves it.

  You might be able to freeze it. Then thaw, and steam for 2 hours like a normal Christmas pudding?

  I did this recipe but instead of using Orange/Lemon juice I soaked the fruit in Cointreau, overnight!...The adults loved it and the children who never eat pudding anyway had the brownies.....

  I forgot to mention that I used dried mango, dates and raspberries as the fruit as I dislike currants and raisons.
