Method
Grease eight 3/4-cup (175 mL) ramekins or custard cups and line bottoms with waxed paper; set aside.
In bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in molasses, buttermilk and orange juice. Add bread crumbs, raisins, candied fruit, orange rind, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt; stir just until blended. Spoon into prepared ramekins.
Place ramekins in roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
Remove ramekins from water; let cool on rack. Run knife around edge of puddings; unmould. (Make-ahead: Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or overwrap with heavy-duty foil and freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
Garnish: Cut 4 green cherries in half; place 1 half on each pudding. Cut each red cherry lengthwise into 6 strips; place around green cherry to resemble petals
of flower.
