Tip

This recipe fits perfectly in the Avanti 1L Pudding Basin on the Mixshop

You can double the recipe and cook in a 16-20cm Spring Form tin, on Varoma for 3 hours. Make sure the tin is lifted off the Varoma dish holes to allow steam to flow.

If not serving immediately, cook for 90 minutes, refrigerate in the basin until the day you want to eat it, then reheat by cooking for the remaining 30 minutes with boiled water, on Varoma®️ temperature.

    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Great receipe, confirming no soaking of sago required (which makes it even easier!). I used a 2L Avanti tin and plan to double mixture next time. I cooked in a slow cooker on high for 3 hours and it was perfect. Thank you so much @Kirrilly!

    I have tweaked the recipe, given the feedback on clumps of sago.

    Mine is cooking right now

    Nice pudding, i added some slithered almonds. I had some clumps of sago that didn't mix but overall it was very good. Thanks for the recipe

    My first Christmas pudding 😊My first Christmas pudding 😊
    My very first go at a Christmas pudding.
    Very easy.
    Quick clean up.
    Simple recipe to follow.
    I used 60g of each; sultanas, currants and raisins.
    I used Bundaberg Rum (15g extra, accidentally 😆)
    My husband commented after eating leftovers, that he enjoyed it more, than both his mum's and his sisters sago plum pudding!!!

    "Let's have this more often", was his last remark.

    Thank you for sharing 😇
