1. Place apple and carrot in a large bowl. Place on glass

NOTE. One of the advantages of using your MICROWAVE to
make this traditional pudding is that it can be made the week
before Christmas and stored in a cool dry place. Do not
attempt to make the pudding earlier than this, since the flavour
will not improve with keeping, unlike a traditionally steamed
pudding.
