Could you jar up Christmas pudding? Sterile glass jar, possibly boil then store it at the right temperature? That should work, right?lightningxl wrote:Just looked at Xmas pud says matured for 6 mouths BBDate March 2014 - should be some real discounted bargins in the supermarkets apres christmas.

Why would you need to can the Christmas pudding? It would store well just in its original packaging - way beyond the BB4 date, especially as it's full of alcohol.Trish52 wrote:Could you jar up Christmas pudding?

I'm asking if it is possible to jar it up and would it further extend the lift expectancy of a Pud if you jarred it close to it's best before dateitsybitsy wrote:Why would you need to can the Christmas pudding?

I see that, but I just don't see why you would need to. Seems like a waste of a jar to me!Trish52 wrote:

Id say turkey would be a good buy, last year i got 3 turkeys on boxing day from Asda nice and cheap (reduced to clear) as they usually have loads left over so they have to sell them cheap as most supermarkets do't have that large a turkey section.

I may look at some meat joints which I could cut and freeze into more single meal proportions, but nothing else comes to mind right now, as for xmas pudding ewww no thanks it's on a par with a bush tucker challenge. 
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
