Questions
Using a larger pudding basin
I would like to make Delia’s Christmas Pudding but I only have either a 1 litre or 1.75 litre pudding basin. Would either be ok or do I really need to get the size stated?
About mincemeat Christmas Cake
Hi, this will probably sound stupid but in the Mincemeat Christmas Cake is the jar of Mincemeat in addition to the fruit listed or in place of fruit? Thanks
Does and double batch take double time?
Hi I’ve been making Delia’s Christmas chutney and Saville marmalade for several years . If I were to double up the recipes and cook in one go would I need to double the cooking time too ? Many thanks Carl
Using mincemeat straight away
Hi Lindsey, when making Christmas mincemeat can I use it straight away for mince pies ? Thanks :)
Keeping Stollen
How can I extend the shelf life of Delia’s stollen recipe?
Making a 1lb pudding this year!
Every year I make Delia’s traditional Christmas pudding. This year I’m catering for fewer people who like Christmas pud. I’d like to know if it is ok to halve all the ingredients and maker a smaller one? And if so, are the cooking times different?
Many thanks.
