cranberry christmas pudding and sauce

Recipe by

I am adopting this recipe,as it is similar to the one Mom liked to serve at Christmas time, with a rich sauce. She always said: do not substitute ingredients! The ingredients listed were the same, but I have changed the quantities, and eliminated the vanilla in the sauce. You can include vanilla if desired. Hers was less sweet also.
