ReheatingDelia's Christmas Pudding
Asked on 28 Oct 2018 by Sugarnspice
I am making the traditional Christmas pudding (2 smaller ones) , it says steam for 8 hours then another 2.5 hours on Christmas Day. Can the second portion of steaming be done a week before Christmas and the puddings reheated on Christmas Day either in the microwave or oven

Hello,
We steam the 1lb puddings fro 8 hours as well.
The second steam is only to reheat the pudding.
Our advice is…
“Steaming the pudding to reheat it 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.”
Best wishes
Lindsey
