The #ChristmasPudding out of the cloth wrap, after drying in the fridge overnight (using the plastic insert from a salad spinner to lift it out of a bowl). It's too warm and humid here in Qld to hang it in the open air, so the suggestion is to make sure it's dry on its surface, then clingwrap and store in the fridge.

Turned out pretty well; there's a thin coat of the suet still on the surface where it hasn't stuck to the cloth, and we were able to recover a lot of suet from the pot.

Flour and water - fire box sealant, glue and fabric treatment.

I’m celebrating the #12daysofChristmas with quotes by famous authors.

Day 6 🎄
“It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling—the season for kindling, not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity in the heart.”
- Washington Irving, Christmas Eve.

My first attempt at a Christmas pudding looks good, but I won't know for sure until next month.
