When cooking your Christmas pudding from raw, what temperature should it be cooked to?

no idea of the answer sorry

According to the Nigella team

"The pudding will be cooked from a food safety point of view once it reaches an internal temperature of 72c/160F or above, but the flavours of the pudding may not have fully developed at this point."

Sorry can't post links yet

70,74,87 and 97 degrees are the choices. I've gone for 74.

PS link worked but I didn't do anything. Woohoo

Having searched for a while i can only find this reference from the same website also which recommends 75 degrees, so think 74 is correct..
