It's a tradition that I started years ago I think because I always made more puddings than were needed at Christmas so I kept the spare for Easter, with it being the next significant festival.]

Then when Mum started sending fewer to other family members, the batch just got made larger and lasted a few years instead....given the amount of alcohol that went into each batch, by the time a pudding had matured for two or three years, they were lethal. Wisely we never had a tradition of setting fire to the pudding )

One year mum decided to put the spares in the attic for some reason - maybe to keep them cool? - and forgot. They were discovered about five years later and were matured to perfection hic]
