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.  ;D

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.
