    Today I have made some Bread Pudding, actually quite a lot of Bread Pudding.  My Mother used to make this years ago.  I don't do it exactly the same however.  I know Mum used to put pieces of lard, yes, shock horror, lard on the top, while baking.  It used to give it a wonderful sheen and taste.  Totally out of fashion these days though. The recipe is below!

    ​500g Wholemeal bread
    500g white bread
    ​800g Mixed, dried fruit
    4 beaten eggs
    4 tbsp mixed spice
    1 litre milk
    300g light brown sugar
    200g butter

    Grease a 40 cm cake tin with butter.  Make sure the tin  is not one with a loose bottom.  Pour the mixture in and level the tin.  Sprinkle some more light brown sugar on the top.

    In a heated oven, 180C/160C fan/gas 4, bake for 2 hours, until golden brown.

    When firm to the touch, remove from the oven and turn out onto a board. Cut into squares, serve with cream or custard.

    I will be freezing most of my Bread Pudding, which should be done, on the day cooked.  Wait until cool, before freezing!

    Preparation!
    ​

    Preparation is the key to success at Christmas. Shop early, cook in advance, organise, assemble and wrap; well before the 25th.  Then when that fateful day arrives, continue your groundwork, and prepare for the worst!
