Lessons learned,
Do not try to cook this pudding in a dutch oven lined with greaseproof paper directly on the grill of the fire. The inside was fine but the outside cremated beyond saving with the paper stuck and burnt onto and into the pudding. It needed to be hung from a tripod i think. Tasted ok though.
Over to Jon for the pics. Be easy on me please !!!
Damn Tank and his wood fetish!!!!:yikes:

Hehehe,
Well, it would have been delicious were it not for two things. And if you look carefully you can see a finger (MuddyBoots) that is all knowing... http://s6.mcstatic.com/thumb/775457/4690308/4/directors_cut/0/1/harry_enfield_television_progr amme.jpg
1) Unless you want your cake to taste just like grease proof paper, don't cook with it on an open fire in a dutch oven.....

2) Unless you want your cake to taste just like grease proof paper and be surrounded in volcanic magma when removed, don't cook with it on an open fire tended to by Tank and his wood fetish.
