Thanks Phil,
                 love me a good Christmas pud. That's pretty much the way my sainted Geordie mother used to make it but she'd do it about mid October them let them sit in a cold pantry until Christmas to get all those flavours melded just right. I needing to go for a jog just thinkin' about it    MP

p.s where in Oz are you? I have a sister in somewhere called Mount Glorious QLD.

Glad to see you meant "Pudding".
In America your "Pud" is not something you stir, it's something you pull.

This one's somethin' you put in your mouth figure out it's real sweet, chew on for a while.........then swallow.  Then awake with regret and a swollen stomach.
