Christmas Pudding!
- Thread starter GFHomebrew
- Start date
I'll just have a slither oh who am I kidding give me a little bit more pud
At it again today GF PUD this year
Had to watch that Christmas pud video again from drity Donna check it out for a good laugh!
Gunna chuck in some cubed ginger as well along with some orange peal subbing out the flour for rice flour and GF breadcrumbs going in. Everything else is the same along with a healthy serving of Bundy rum.
Will snap a few pics shortly
All mixed up
Lid on I line the bowl with butter then run rice flour around the butter this should stick to the pud.
Wrap her up
Out of string bailing twine will do.
In the pot on 500watt slow simmer 6 hours

I foubd out there is a difference between instant chocolate pudding and the "other one"...
Thought I would make a simple chocolate pie for a family dinner. Grabbed a gram cracker crust at the market as I knew there was a couple boxes of pudding in the cupboard.
Recipe called for a 5.9 ounce box , hmmm must be the larger box , i just weigh out 5.9 oz from the two boxes I have.
Followed the directions which did not involve any cooking.
Wow kinda runny! Says it will set up in about an hour. An hour later still runny.
Thats when Deb asks me if I used "instant" pudding... "Oh " I say, there is two kinds?????

Hilarious
! After a couple of years knocking this pud out sorta like brewing got it dialed right in now.
I can put that boiler on set the wattage and can pretty much come back in 6 hours.
Never had one I didn't like bit this year with rice flour I'm not sure nervous about this one....
Cheers Kenny you knocked a few out over the years?
What's your go to.
I've not tasted this current GF batch tomorrow I'll be sure to report back
Oh you know you want some big boymaybe just a little more pud
!
Bloody Beautiful it did not disappoint
Have a look at that PUD!
Yeah you know you want some!
Crumb shot
Now this is gunna go well with a glass of Shiraz!
I could imagine a big thick Jammy porter or Brown ale would really accompany this to a Tee.
Cheers all Merry Christmas 2022!

Yeah made some for GF bread toasted then whizzed in the Thermomix.
That's all soaking in the rum
Today I'll get my pud on
I love me some good pud.
All mixed into the pud container
Noice then pop a little baking paper lid on
Now wrap her up with aluminum foil and I use jute twine to tie it in place with a handle to pic it up
MR Pud man showing off his wares!
Now to bring my pot to a boil then simmer for 6 hours.
I'll check the pot every now and again to replace water.
I've discovered that the pud will just float in the pot so no need to suspend with something as per previous years.
This is why I bought the PWM recently to simmer this.
Cheers I'll catch ya Christmas day for the reveal .

Hey Ben, once it's cooked, how do you store it until you're ready to cut into it? Can it be eaten right away or is letting it 'cure' a while a big part of the flavor and texture?All mixed into the pud container View attachment 27029

Yeah apparently it gets better with time.
Every year I intend to make it in winter in advance but most years it becomes a oh Shoit I gotta get the pud done!
This year is maybe a record in October lol.
In the cooler climates you can just store it at room temperature.
Somewhere in my mind has people just hanging it up.
But here in hot starting to get humid QLD I'll pop it in my keezer to wait it out until Christmas.
The weather ATM is conducive to growing mould.
