Pressure Cooker Lemon Steamed Pudding

11 March 2016

Our sumptuous, syrupy lemon pudding uses mostly everyday essentials and only takes 45 minutes to cook, rather than the usual two hours of steaming normally required. That is just one of the benefits of pressure cookers; they cut cooking times by up to two thirds, making life that little bit easier.

4Pre-steam the pudding for 10 minutes by putting the lid on the pressure cooker but not cooking under pressure. Then turn the pressure regulator to 12 and bring up to pressure, cook for 35 minutes. Release the pressure slowly

5Meanwhile, blend half of the berries until smooth, then stir in the sugar and whole berries
