Frozen Christmas Puds.

Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the pudding xxx

Thanks all for replies.

We felt hungrier today, so have given the pud a heat up in the slow cooker, and had (most) if it after the cold chicken and home made chips.

It was good!

Shall eat the remainder tomorrow.

Pour some more booze on the puds cover and keep .
Years ago they would have lived in the larder .

Christmas puds last all year without freezing. They are full of all the ingredients that have been used for centuries to preserve food for winter use.

Freezing them once they are cooked (presumably handled with clean hands, and well wrapped before freezing) doesn't alter the ingredients at all, and defrosting in their original wrappings doesn't let in any new germs. They just take up where they left off when they were put into the freezer.

Freezers are not magic gadgets that somehow change stuff - they just put a pause into their ageing. They will be exactly the same as they would have been if they hadn't had the spell in the freezer - as if the freezer time just didn't exist. You would have been happy to eat them if you had stored them without freezing, so eat them and enjoy.

I’ve never frozen ours but we always seem to have a few lurking in our larder from the previous years. We eat them after reheating in the microwave and no ill effects ever reported as yet.

I’m sure it’ll be fine. I never freeze Xmas puds or cakes and I’m sure over the years we’ve eaten some that have been positively antique!

We ate 3 yr old pud , it wasn’t frozen , just in the bottom of the fridge , it was delicious

It will be fine there everything in it to be preserved.
