Stockists

Pudding Range

A limited amount of Mrs Peeks 454g puddings, will be available in selected Tesco's this Christmas 2009.

Unfortunately, there are no other major retailers stocking Mrs Peeks. We also will be unable to offer our online selling function.

Not being funny, but it's usually the discount shops that have Mrs Peeks.

They are the best though aren't they.

If you find them, buy next year's too, the keep really well, as they are so rich, they don't go off.

Yes that was silly.....as my grand daughter would say....SILLY BILLY.... I need two puddings.....and if someone could buy me two puddings I will pay them plus postage

They are good pudding - a little bit bitter offset by the sweetness of the sauce....have tried other 'luxury puds' .....NEED A MRS PEEKS.....

Christine Report 4 Dec 2009 20:30

Given up the search.....bought a bog standard pudding from Tesco today.....2.00.....can't stand the 'luxury' ones - all big lumps of fruit and nuts - have decided to make my own for next year.

Last year we had a wheat-free one from T*scos - son is wheat free. And it was lovely. No complaints from anyone - but then I didn't tell them it was wheat free!

I can send you the best Christmas Pudding recipe ever. Cook it yourself. Makes a very large pudding. Boil it in a cloth or make it in a pudding basin. Still time to do it for this Christmas. Mine is finished and hanging up. Will take a while for me to type out the instructions. Takes about two hours to prepare and four hours to boil. Need to be dedicated but it is worth the trouble. I've been making this one for over twenty years and never had a failure.

Thank you....would really be grateful for your recipe

Merry Christmas

OK Will type it up this afternoon my time and post it later this evening.

And don't forget it is an Aussie pudding so you need to make it standing on your head!!

Years ago, I got a recipe from Prima for a Christmas pudding, with Guiness, and believe me, it was absolutely yummy...but sadly I lost the recipe after a couple of years. I really wish I'd put it somewhere safer.

So if anyone has a copy of the recipe from Prima way back in the late 80s, lemme know lol

(somehow I think finding that is marginally less likely than finding a Mrs Peeks pudding lol)
