marcs, I mis-read your queation, sorry. I thought you asked how long I soaked the fruit mix. I have never made them weeks in advance. If I want to make onea week or so in advance, I keep it in the fridge and then gently heat or microwave if required. This is a very dense and moist pudding and not "cakey" at all.

In one of her recipe books Alison Holst says that rich puddings don't completely freeze, but continue to mature.I don't know if that was specific to her recipe or a general comment.It would be interesting to freeze one and make a last minute one to compare, especially if you have enough people to eat it all. (I always found having teenage brothers helped).

I have frozen christmas cakes and I have to say they do taste better. They don't completely freeze. Not sure on puddings but I gather the same process. I also make mince tarts and freeze them. Normally I would marinate the fruit and leave it in the freezer for months before making them. Again they don't freeze so they marinate rather well.
