sceadugenga Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm the recipient of a Wilkin and Son's Tiptree 1 pound Christmas pudding. The genius in customs stuck his sticker right over the instructions and it's not coming off. I don't have a microwave so I'll have to steam it... but for how long?

sceadugenga Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 And pray tell sir... what is so amusing? Do you suspect I may not rise at 4am to prepare the pudding for a 1pm lunch? Oh ye of little faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ye of little faith! You don't need to. Get up at six and do it. They won't be ready for that until 3pm anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) I think you will find the eight hours is to cook a raw pudding, I am almost certain yours will be pre cooked and just need re-heating in which case approx 1 hour of steaming. Edited to add Found this link http://www.lobbsfarm...ils.asp?id=2143 so steam for 1.5 hours. Edited December 22, 2011 by RabC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Yes! That's it. The very thing. Many thanks. 8 hours indeed. I found their website and had emailed the company for advice. No reply as yet. Edited December 22, 2011 by sceadugenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 It was an interesting post because I actually considered making a pudding from scratch a couple of years back and then I recalled that the cooking time was on that scale. A previous wife used to make them months beforehand, cook them, hang them in the laundry then cook them again on Christmas day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudolus Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ingredients: vine fruits (sultanas, currants, raisins), sugar, breadcrumbs (contains wheat), refined palm oil, cider, flour, eggs, citrus peel, tawny marmalade, brandy, mixed spices, salt (in an earthenware basin) No Suet in your pudding so an hour will be enough; hours and a half tops. Try steam ironing the label and it might separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
