I just love Erika's new find! This stuff is quite hard to find. A few years ago, I recall reading about the shortage of Chef Heston Blumenthal's Christmas pud (sold out over a weekend) and the subsequent brouhaha in Britain because the puds were sold on eBay at 250 quid apiece (18 times the store price). I think the novelty of having a whole orange inside the pudding drove prices crazy. The orange is supposed to keep the pudding moist throughout its shelf life (the citrus oils interacts with the pudding over time). Don't leave it the fridge too long though, it can get quite hard to chew.
