A firm favourite in my family served warm or cold, my wife’s aka Nanny’s bread pudding is the best.

Mind, you have to be quick to get some as it gets eaten usually before it has a chance to get cold!

For a more succulent pudding or if your mixed dried fruit is too dry. Plump them up by rehydrating them before using in baking.

For a different twist on bread pudding, try plumping the dried fruit up with dark rum, it works a treat!

    BREAD PUDDING: wife just made it. just how i remember it. great recipe ! 👍

  2. Richard thankyou…brought up by my Grandparents so most of your recipes I used to make when I was first married 56 years ago…over the years one tends to end up trying different meals and ‘newer recipes’ so gradually fewer and fewer of these recipes I ‘grew up with’ were made.
    Finding your site has prompted me to go back many years and start ‘real cooking’ again.
    Cornish pasties for supper tonight and making a treacle tart and the bread pudding for over this weekend 👍
    I’ll be blaming you fror my weight gains 😇

    2 tbsp seems too much spice.

    2 tbsp seems too much spice in the bread pudding recipe.

  5. 15 cm tin?? That’s tiny? It’s that right? That’s smaller than my hand.

    • Hi Kate,
      It does seem too small doesn’t it? Blame my wife, it was her recipe 😃.
      I think a 30cm/12″ tin would be more sensible so I have changed it.
      Thanks for pointing it out.
      Richard
