Or:

Put the poached fruit into the Thermoglass™ dish and pre-cook uncovered in a moderate oven (180°C) for 5 minutes. Rest hot Thermoglass™ dish on Decor trivet while making up the pudding mix. This pre-cooking will allow the fruit to cook more evenly in the pudding than if taken directly from the refrigerator.

Spoon over the poached fruit in the Thermoglass™ dish. Bake uncovered in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. There should be no liquid when the pudding batter is pierced in the centre with a skewer. Rest hot Thermoglass™ dish on Decor trivet.

Any leftovers can be stored in the Thermoglass™ dish in the refrigerator withthe Microsafe® lid on, steam vent closed. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
