I did a Facebook pole to see which one people would prefer, a Lemon & Ginger or an Orange based one. The Lemon won hands down but I felt guilty so I did one of each.
The problem now is I have an empty house and an intolerance to ginger. I now have these huge puds, including an orange and cranberry one sitting on my kitchen table, so it looks like pudding for tea.

175g caster sugar

2. Grease a 2 pint pudding basin and spoon in the rest of the zest, 3 tbsp golden syrup and half of the lemon juice and stir together
3. Spoon the pudding batter into the basin, cover with a disc of parchment and foil
4. Place in either a steamer or in a large saucepan with a saucer in the bottom to avoid direct contact with the heat, pour in some kettle boiled water to just over half way up the pudding basin.
