Tip
Christmas is a time for celebration, friends, family… and decadence. Whis is why, when making Christmas Pudding, we love to treat our guests with loads of rich fruit, indulgent alcohols, and above all, exceptional spices.
We love using Pedro Ximinez – it’s a spanish sherry with very rich raisin and chocolate flavours, which work perfectly with this decadent dessert.Thermomix Model

Comments
These tasted lovely - I was abit concerned as the fruit didn't stay 'whole' like a traditional pudding but the end result was tasted excellent!
Hi Chef Yvonne,
Thanks for your comment. Under serving instructions it is detailed that the puddings are not left in the moulds:
Turn puddings out onto individual serving plate and serve with warm custard.

When you say 'you give them a drink' what does that actually entail? How much? Do you leave them in the moulds? This Christmas pudding thing is all new to me.
Cheers
Thankyou, will let you know how they go
Hi Gorgeouscyd
Thanks for the great tips!
Hi PETE N VIC
Yes, you can freeze the puddings if you wish.

I would probably make them up and put them in a Tupperware container in the fridge. They should keep until Christmas. You can also pierce them a few days later and give them a little extra alcohol, which is good for a rich flavor & preservation.
I used to make my puddings in November and give them a drink each week - always turned out sensational. Good luck!
