I bought large Christmas pudding last year and heated it in the slow cooker as I do every year, but no one wanted any, so when it was cold I wrapped it in geaseproof paper and foil, will it be ok to heat it up again this year?
A very good point Tony. If they didn't want it last year maybe try a different pudding or don't bother. In this house after Christmas lunch everyone is stuffed and no room for pudding
thanks, the reason nobody wanted any was that as usual I loaded the table up to much to start with, and also made an apple pie, stupid for a woman who hates waste, will it be safe to eat if I heat it again? that's my main concern, I would rather give it to the birds if it could make someone ill.
ok, the birds it is, I will wish them happy Christmas when I throw it out, apple pie it is then, and maybe a trifle? no on second thoughts best learn my lesson and cut down.
Ok tambers accept your knowledge, I was just told that in a cold winter, birds would keep to a feeding point, and if it went they could then starve to death
Just press it out into a nice ball - it should make a bleddy good bowling ball for ten-pin or crown bowling - or you could flatten it a bit, stick a handle in, and use it as a curling stone if you are in Salmondland.
Look at it. Is it furry ? I'd be surprised if it had gone off.
Unsure why you'd want to slow cook it though, it was cooked last year. Steam or microwave it ?
If you put it in the microwave to reheat a Christmas pudding - be warned, you only need a few seconds. I will never forget my mother setting fire to the microwave with a pudding inside it....
