Just taken delivery of latest order and with numerous of the jam sponge puddings. Not had them before and was wondering if anyone knows how to cook them as there's no instructions. Please advise if anyone knows. Thanks in advance.

I have had them before and I'm sure I just popped them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

If they're like the ones in M&S, Asda, etc, you just turn over on a plate and microwave for about 40-50 seconds each but the jam ones get really hot quickly so probably a bit less.

Thanks for the Info on the puds, I was wondering too,lol.Those choc flapjacks are nice too.Was a bit concerned with the soup but that's fine once in the microwave.I was really impressed with the del monte orange-absolutely perfect and you can't go wrong paying just over 4 quid for 36 cartons of it either.

I'm not going to tell anyone what I've previously ordered and liked most.....
....because, due to the nature of their business, Approved Foods will not always have repeat stocks of the same thing, but when they do, I want it to be available for me to order!
