Making a christmas pudding in the microwave? lol If you are wanting to make a traditional Irish mealing, use your oven and forget the microwave. Am originally from Ireland living here in the US, my mom would smack me if she found me using a microwave for something like this, adding colouring too and she would ask me what in the world are "molasses" :-)
odlums.ie is what I use to get the recipee's.
