Time to make the Christmas pudding!

October 20, 2020 10:20 am / 8 Comments / Trudy

 

As the festive season fast approaches now is the perfect time to make the Christmas pudding!

Number one on Google for cooking in the steam oven for several years this recipe has become a firm favourite in my family.  Moist and delicious, it will easily serve 12-15.  There are many comments over the years for cooking instructions to make smaller puddings as well.  See the recipe here.  There is also a gluten free, quick sago pudding option here as well.

So if you didn’t make this pudding in your steam oven last year then try it now.  So much easier than watching a pot on the stove in case it boils dry, cooking it in the steam oven for six hours only means you have to refill the water container a few times which frees you up to do other things with your day!

    Thanks for pointing to this post again Trudy, I just came to your site to search for it so I could share with a fellow steam oven owner in our facebook Steam Oven Cooking group! I hope you don’t mind that I’ve shared the link over there. 🙂

    Hi Trudy. My sister has made our family Christmas puddings using suet and pudding cloths. Can we cook it in the steam oven?? We are new users of a steam oven so haven’t experimented much with it yet and would appreciate your advice!
    Thank you so much.

      Hi Helen,
      You can read previous comments regarding this issue. No, you cannot cook puddings in a cloth but you can make the same recipe and cook it in a basin as I have. With this type of pudding the flavour is the same but you don’t get the ‘skin’ that you get with a boiled cloth pudding.
      Regards Trudy

      Hi Helen,
      I now believe you can cook your pudding in the cloth in the steam oven. I saw an Australian Chef do it on a TV show tonight so have changed my post accordingly. I apologise for the wrong information but I honestly believe that you wouldn’t get the same outer ‘skin’ that this type of pudding has from being boiled. If you haven’t made it yet could you please let me know how you think it compares to previous boiled ones?
      Regards Trudy

    Hi Trudy

    I also grew up with a cloth pudding for Xmas with a recipe handed down in my mother’s family for generations. My mother always said the flour that you sprinkle onto the cloth before you put in the mixture gives it the ‘skin’ so I’m thinking that this should still give the same effect in the steam oven? I am so glad I can do the pudding in the steam oven with a cloth! To me, it never tastes quite the same without it. My family recipe calls for boiling the pudding for 6 hours (and then another 2 on the day) so I will just follow those times and see how it goes. Will let you know how it turns out!
