Where are the Christmas puddings?

I've just come back from the mall and I am absolutely exhausted!  What makes my shopping expedition even worse is, I wanted to buy a Christmas pudding.  No luck.  I guess you want to know why I am buying instead of making.  My granddaughter Alexandra loves my summer version of Christmas pudding.  I take a 900g pudding and a litre vanilla ice-cream.  Break the pudding up into crumbs and mix into the vanilla ice-cream, spoon into a ring-mould dish (I have a glass one) and freeze.  To serve turnout out onto a serving plate and decorate with fruit or just serve (as I do) with a Orange Brandy Sauce.  Simple and easy to make.
Getting back to my shopping expedition.  From Woolworths to Pick-n-Pay I just could not find a 900g ordinary (please no fancy puddings) pudding made with lots of fruit and brandy. Checkers had puddings, ummm?  What has happened to Warings?  Some stores did not even know what I was talking about??  That's my story I will post you my recipe and results.  Also keep viewing my blog as I am going to give you some lovely recipes for gifts from your kitchen.
