Question: Has anyone tried Julia Child's recipe for Christmas pudding? Did you like it? It looks easy, but I'm not spending 6 hours steaming something if it's not tasty. Opinions?

3 c. (lightly packed down) crumbs from homemade type white bread-a 1/2-lb. loaf, crust on, will do it
1 c. each: black raisins, yellow raisins, and currants, chopped
1 1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. each: cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg--more if needed
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, melted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
few drops of almond extract
1/2 c. bitter orange marmalade
1/2 c. rum or bourbon whiskey, heated before serving
sprigs of holly, optional
2 c. Zabaione Sauce

Zabaione Sauce:
(Makes about 2 cups)

1 large egg
2 egg yolks
small pinch of salt
1/3 c. rum or bourbon whiskey (or Marsala or sherry)
1/3 c. dry white French vermouth
1/2 c. sugar
