Larder: Christmas pudding
Should you wish to tackle a Christmas pudding yourself, we salute you, but given the amount of pressure cooking that’s going to require, opting for three minutes in the microwave is understandable. All we will say is opt well.
Tesco, luxury Christmas pudding
3 stars
£10.99, 907g
A bit of a loose pudding this, but quite fruity with a nice kick of booze.
Coop, truly irresistible
5 stars
£5.49, 454g
Richer and darker than the Tesco option, with big almonds and a nice puddingy texture.
Waitrose, richly fruited
4 stars
£4.99, 454g
Very fruit and nutty, with a good spongy texture. Maybe a touch less Christmas cheer than Co-op, but delicious none the less.
Sainsbury’s, taste the difference Cognac laced
3 stars
£6.49, 454g
As the name suggested, this one was soaked in Cognac. Great if you like it, but comes at a price. Plenty of zesty citrus and nice chewy fruit.
Sainsbury’s, luxury
2 stars
£3.99, 454g
A little under the old whelm, with an odd texture and none of the Cognac to temper the displeasure.
Aldi, specially selected Christmas pudding
2 stars
£4.99, 750g
A bit bland, but holds together well, and is quite dark. Could get used to the taste, but it’s not a classic.
Netto,luxury
£3.29
3 stars
Sweet and fruity, without all the boozathon. Cakey consistency, and easy on the purse.
