   Meanwhile, chop up the chocolate. Mix it into the cranberry sauce and stir until melted. If necessary, return to the microwave and cook on high for one minute, stirring once. Cool until tepid but still runny. Butter a 2 1/2 pint pudding basin. Cream the butter and the rest of the sugar until soft and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Then add the flour, one spoonful at a time, alternating with the rest of the cranberry mixture. Pour into the prepared basin.
