Plum pudding

November 25, 2005 at 10:46 pm · Filed under Christmas, Domestic Life, Food, Season

I’m kind of hoping to make the plum pudding this weekend, so it can hang and develop its flavours over the next month. Except that has got me wondering where I can hang it. It’s meant to be somewhere cool… but those sort of locations are somewhat lacking around here in December.

Does anyone make a pudding? In advance? Significantly? Where do you keep it? I’m particularly interested if you’re somewhere where it’s warm at this time of year.

I was thinking that next year I might try and make it in about July… That way the big, six hour steaming can actually warm the house:-) But that does mean I will need to have found somewhere suitable to store it. So I really am after suggestions…

Well, I haven’t done it, but I would like to. If you’re interested, next year we’ll get together and make a big batch, and give them to my friend to hang in his wine cellar in Brunswick. Ooo, I have pics of Matt’s wine cellar somewhere - I’ll post them. I *like* the wine cellar. It’s my fave part of his farm. Strange, really, because the rest of it is haunted and I can’t sleep down there!

Sorry, it was me who wrote the previous comment, but I suddenly got distracted by our tree falling on our neighbour’s house, so I posted without signing off.

Sorry!

I’d actually figured it probably was you:-) (is Matt of the cellar your meat guy?)
