Hello everyone.

The bread pudding is in the oven and it smells wonderful!

Caz - here is the recipe I use although I don't often use mixed peel, just use sultanas and raisins usually and a mix of whatever sugars I've got in the cupboard. I also usually at least double it up (have trebled it today!). Hopefully the recipe will show you the difference CarolG.

8oz bread (brown or white with crusts cut off)
10floz milk
2oz melted butter
3oz soft brown sugar
2 tspns mixed spice
1 beaten egg
6oz mixed fruit (raisins, mixed peel etc)

Break bread into bowl (smallish pieces) - pour over milk, stir and leave for 30 mins to soak.

Add melted butter, sugar, mixed spice and egg. Beat the mixture well then stir in fruit.

Put mixture into buttered dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake in oven (180 degrees C) for about 1 and a quarter hours. I reduce both the heat and cooking time for my fan oven.

Can serve hot or cold and it wont last long!!!

Enjoy!
