Notes

The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator almost indefinitely if you dribble rum, sherry, or any other form of alcohol over it from time to time. This pudding is meant to be lit on fire just before it is served, although the non-alcoholic version is also very good. Steam the pudding for an hour to heat it up before serving.
