- .RZ "FROZEN CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING" "A southern-hemisphere Christmas plum pudding"
- We here in the Southern Hemisphere have a summer Christmas
- so we have adapted some of the more traditional festive fare to
- local conditions. Here is one example. It is very easy, and it
- can be made up to a week ahead of using.

- .NX
- The original recipe called for the use of a microwave to do the heating and
- cooking. This works well for melting the gelatine but is a bit of a
- nuisance otherwise.
- .SH RATING

- easy to moderate (timing matters).
- .I Time:
- 15 minutes preparation, overnight freezing.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
