| # | Post |

| 1 | Going to a Mid Winter Christmas on Saturday and discover that I'm on pudding, specifically Christmas pudding. Have located an old fashioned pudding basin but now discover that most recipes involve about 10 hours of steaming and then a couple more on the day!!! Ummm, don't think so, has anyone got a recipe for something that looks & tastes like a traditional pud but cheats? As a last resort I could microwave it I guess...(if it was Christmas time I'd buy one) any suggestions out there? Thanks :) patsprat - 2017-07-13 10:09:00 |
| 2 | my mum made a Edmonds recipe steamed pudding with mixed fruit as a Christmas pudding. Was fairly rich and not sure if it was the three quarter hour one or the one that took about an hour and a half. She used the basic recipe and added whatever she had on hand to it. ie could be jam pudding or spice or fruit. cgvl - 2017-07-13 10:35:00 |
| 3 | Thanks, cgvl, I hadn't got to the Edmonds book yet, just googled madly and found all these 10 hour jobs. That will likely be the best option, no one's going to know when it's doused in brandy and a whole lot of custard. patsprat - 2017-07-13 10:50:00 |
| 4 | Just bumped a thread ( http://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.asp Just be wary in not too cook too quickly, to be watchful that it does not stick to the bottom of pot. When serving to place it nicely onto a good sized serving dish and decorate it slightly to suit. It is delicious and different ones will make a pig of themselves, LOL. Cheers and all the best.

| 5 | I always cook my Christmas pudding in my crockpot. Cuts out the long process of cooking, pot watching old fashioned way of cooking. I always use the following recipe from Joan Bishop's Crockpot book and just reheat it in the MW at time of eating, doesn't even have to mature so you can eat it straight away. Preheat CP on high for 20 minutes. Grease (8 cup capacity) pudding basin. Mix together in a large bowl breadcrumbs, flour and sugar. Add dried fruit & spices, stir well. Melt butter & syrup in a pan, remove from heat and add milk and soda, stir until dissolved. Add eggs and brandy. Pour liquid ingredients into flour mixture and stir thoroughly. Pour mixture into prepared pudding basin and cover tightly with both baking paper then foil and tie with string. Put basin into CP and place on a trivet in the base. Pour 3 cups boiling water around basin. Cover with lid and cook on high for 6-8 hours. Enjoy Edited by nauru at 7:13 pm, Thu 13 Jul nauru - 2017-07-13 19:09:00 |
| 6 | Try this...Sweet dates and caramel turn traditional spiced fruit pudding into a new Christmas classic. rexavier - 2017-07-13 19:25:00 |
| 7 | This is the one I use, it's lovely. It says to leave the fruit to soak overnight but you don't have to, a few hours would be okay. It makes a really lovely Christmas pudding that doesn't sit like a brick in your stomach! eclair5 - 2017-07-13 19:54:00 |

| 13 | Its the suet in the old-fashioned puddings that needs the long slow cooking. So any xmas pudding recipe that uses butter as the fat should be OK. (and yes, I know this is a thread from last year.) punkinthefirst - 2019-07-03 14:56:00 |
