NOTES:

* 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. Yield: Serves 8-10.

* 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.

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