Sago fruit pudding

I chose this rich, moist pudding recipe from Doreen’s cookbook because it is very similar to the one my family makes every year for Christmas. It was introduced to us by my sister-in-law, Anne, who in turn was shown how to make it by her mother, Jeanette Telford. Originally from Lameroo in the South Australian Mallee, Jeanette was well known in the Mount Gambier community where I grew up, because of her volunteer work as a singing teacher and choral society conductor.
