Is it possible to heat the Christmas pudding recipe in the microwave rather than do the second steaming on Christmas day? If so how long would it take in a 900W microwave?

Hello
Steaming is definitely the best. Microwaved puddings are frequently ruined. They tend to overheat and get tough & sticky.
Steaming lightens the pudding and after taking so much care to make your own pudding it’s such a shame to not steam it.
Delia doesn’t even heat her leftover pudding in the microwave. She wraps it in foil and heats it in the Aga or the oven.
