Description

This recipe is courtesy of my sister Samanthi who 'borrowed' it from Nigella.  I was introduced to this pudding when my little sister promptly made a multiple course dinner for the family, Christmas 2008.  Sadly, I haven't made it and I can't quite remember how well I liked it - only that I liked it enough to copy the recipe down.
