Found a Christmas pudding ....!

It could well be dangerous, post it to me and I will test it for you 😊

😂

It will be delicious.

I have never put a Christmas pudding in a fridge in my life. I store Christmas puddings in a kitchen cupboard, top shelf, and the one we ate at Christmas 2023 was a 2022 leftover.

Revive it with a good dose of brandy and then steam/microwave it until piping hot.

Delicious!

It's not been in a fridge - just in a tin.

Best Christmas pudding I ever ate was three years old. I could come and help you out!

Ooh, wish I could find one Luckygirl13, Merry Maymass

Absolutely eat it. No question.

I hardly ever make mine until October at the earliest, to be eaten in December - always fine. OTOH we’d happily eat one that’s 6 or 12 months old, if not more, but they never last that long in this house. If they make it until mid January that’s about it.

My grandma always made hers early in the year.

Definitely eat it. 😋

Should I risk eating it? I made it last December.

It might not be ready yet.
It needs to mature for at least six months.

The one in our cupboard, which I found the other day, must be six years old now; I'm not sure about eating that one!

Some people make Christmas puddings one year to eat the next.

Yes, as others say, it should be fine. I’ve still got one in the fridge made for last Xmas, but didn’t get around to eating it at the time (I’d made 2). It will get eaten at some point this year, probably Xmas 😁.

We ate aChristmas pudding I made 3 years ago and it was fine. I dosed it with more brandy in case it was dry - delicious.

Definitely. A friend kept one I'd ade and given him for two years, and eventually ate it. He said it was gorgeous.

Definitely! And we are unanimous in this!

Definitely eat it!

My Nan always kept her homemade christmas puds for at least a year before using them, there was always one stored in the old larder cupboard.

It will be even better by Christmas this year. I'd say May is a bit early to be eating it and you'll already be ahead with your Christmas preparations✔️

Definitely, it will be even more delicious but probably not for breakfast!

Of course!

Yes.

Definitely, it will have matured.
