Lemon and lime (tropical) self saucing pudding

Exactly half way through winter and the limes and lemons are prolific. We've waited a while for the lime tree to fruit and it has done so with gusto! I spotted this recipe on my FB feed today from Best Recipes - for a lemon and lime self saucing pudding. Sounds delicious. Doesn't use a great deal of the produce but it's another lemon and lime gone to a good cause!
