Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This steamed pudding is an acknowledgement of Pa's English heritage. A spice lovers delight! If steaming the pudding is too fussy or intimidating, use the baked option. It will be a delicious, if not authentic, dessert. No need to mention that to any Anglophiles present!
