Brett, it's a very rich mixture of dried fruit, eggs, flour, sugar, spices, suet, brandy, etc., steamed for hours and hours in a pudding bowl and served up after Xmas dinner covered in flaming brandy, with a sprig of (burning!) holly in the top, with white sauce or brandy butter.
The white sauce contains brandy too...

I'll post my Nana's recipe later if you want more details.
