    Squoozi:
    This pudding was amazing ! texture taste etc.. a little heavy on the brandy , may go a bit lighter next time ... hic

    Well the taste was great but the texture was a bit rubbery.

    Just steaming as I write, the last step where you add the fruit and set for 6 seconds reverse speed 6 ... it breaks up fruit too much so would recommend lower speed or just wooden spoon , also batter was thinner than I expected . Let’s see how it turns out!

    Thermomix in Australia: looks like I’m in for a wet pudding. Fruit is already marinating with fresh apricots and blueberries. 😕.

    Vez: Hi. The blueberries and apricots would be dried, fresh fruit would make the pudding too wet.

    Kind Regards

    Did you ever find out the answer to this question? I am about to make this for Christmas 2017 and have the same question...are the Apricots & Bludeberries fresh?

    i definitely needed to ensure the pudding cloth wasn't too big or I had problems fitting everything into the steaming basket.

    Great recipe, although does taste a bit too alcoholic & wet if not allowed to rest/dry before eating.

    Hi TheCookingLibrarian92,

    We recommend two weeks in the refrigerator or it can be frozen.

    Kind regards,
