Keeping uncooked Christmas pudding mix

So the second half of the batch went in the fridge for 7 hours while I cooked the first 4. The second lot were cooked overnight, starting from fridge cold, but with the water topped up to as deep as I could go, straight from a boiling kettle. The two batches are indistinguishable -- I've sampled both. What didn't work so well were the few I made by microwaving in silicone muffin tins after I ran out of pudding basins before using all the mix.
