I am only giving you 3 stars for the recipe not the final result as my pudding is steaming as I write and won't be eaten for a few weeks yet!
The recipe is unfortunately very badly written. You mention putting together the fruit mixture along with the carrot, glace ginger, lemon rind etc. but then there's no mention of when to add these ingredients, not even the breadcrumbs! I figured it out for myself and made the 'cake' mixture and then tipped it into a large bowl along with the fruit mixture and breadcrumbs and stirred it altogether. However, this recipe should really be revised as a beginner cook might very well be slightly confused.
I AM hoping that despite these oversights that you got the steaming time correct (4.5 hours). From what I have looked up on the internet, most recipes state around 8 hours. I will just have to check it when the 4.5 hours is up to be sure.
Sorry for the bad feed back but so many recipes have left out steps that I felt I had to mention it. If the final result is good, I WILL give you 5 stars.
How long will these keep? I would like to make them but don't want to do too soon!
