I've often looked at this recipe and wondered if it is as nice as 'hand made'. May have to try it I think.

It is a lovely recipe, as DD made it usually once a week over winter.

[JaneeZee]

Absolutely agree.  Did it for my son's 18th as it is one of his favourites.  Have done it several times since & it is consistently fabulous.

Excellent, I have been wondering whether to convert mum's recipe or just use this one, so this really helps.  Thanks!

Thanks for trying & REVIEWING

My husband is obsessed with this pudding so he is somwhat of an expert and he says its better than the ones in rest.  I was very pleased to say the least as he is VERY fussy....lol

I would definatley try it and I'm sure you will love it. I just brought no name brand dates and thought it wouldnt be that good...it was great

I've nevermade sticky date pudding before and from memory have only eaten it once so thought I would try this recipe.  I made it in 10 dariole moulds instead of the 20cm tin and only cooked them for about 15 minutes and they were perfect. The mixture also seemed to be very forgiving, I made up to where you put the bicarb in with the date mixture, and ended up talking to a neighbour for about and hour before getting around to finishing them and then after mixing it all together and filling the moulds realised we were running late to go out so had to just leave them sitting on the stove top uncooked for about two hours.  When we returned just popped them into the preheated oven, cooked and they were perfect - the pudding was so light and the sauce was great.

Thanks for the review  - yes it is very forgiving

I would LOVE to have a copy of this recipe. We don't have access to the Festive Cookbook in Canada. I make a sticky date pudding with caramel sauce every Christmas, and can definitely figure out how to make the sauce in the TM, but didn't even think of doing the pudding in it. Would it be possible fo a kind person to e-mail me the recipe? I hate to be such a bother, but this is a recipe (well, I have seen more than a few, actually) that I would really love to have!
Thanks,
Valerie

Valerie I am off to bed now but will scan it for you in the morning if you like

Agreed!  I'd never made SDP before, but was keen to try it, so cooked it a couple of months ago.  Glad I did - just sublime!

Given that I have only been  TMX owner since Sunday, the fault which occured could have been human error 100%.  The sticky date pudding was sensational, however I had issues with the caramel suace separating out with a layer of butter appearing on the top of the sauce, this morning there is a layer of solidified butter.  Tasted ok but zero for appearance and presentation, luckily the smooth, perfect custard provided the necessary 'liquid'.  The date pudding was the lightest I have made or eaten for that matter.
Any suggestions as to what I may have done!!!!!!!!

With thanks

Cheers

not sure why this happened, as this has always worked out beautifully every time. did you have the correct amount of butter? (was the cord twisted or TM sitting on it giving an incorrect weight measurement)

[Caroline J]

I always do my sauce in a saucepan because the TMX is dirty from making the puddings, and I am too lazy to handwash it 

I follow the recipe though, and it's always perfect...
