Description
Yum, Yum, Pudd of Plum. This is a brilliant, fruity, traditional Christmas cake everyone will enjoy.
Note the ounces (oz) usage rather than kilograms. This is a traditional recipe handed down through generations!
FYI - 35 ounces="1" kg. So 8oz is approximately 300g. 4oz is 150g.
Oh, and with this recipe there is but one rule: 1 glass for the pudd, 1 for the cook....
