Weird but good Christmas pud
 

I've just made this, to see if I would be prepared to serve it instead of a
traditional Christmas pud. The family's consensus was that the taste is
good, but the texture was a bit wet and the colour should be darker. Next
time - and there will be a next time, it's very tasty - I'll drain the
rhubarb a bit and add a tablespoon of cocoa powder. I used lemon juice
instead of rind, that would make it a bit wet too. Source is
