DIABETIC CHRISTMAS PUDDING



Diabetic Christmas Pudding image

This is a good Christmas Pudding, I think it came from the Australian Diabetic Association. It's best made a couple of weeks before eating or even up to a couple of months before and stored in the fridge. Traditionally there is a number of options to finish the pudding before serving: Brandy butter, custard sauce, hard sauce (have posted these recipes separately) On the day reheat by boiling for a further 1 hour or you can slice into serving portions and zap in the microwave for 40 sec in a covered container.
