Bread Pudding

• 1 Small loaf about 400g (14oz)
• 100g (4oz) sugar
• 175g (6oz) shredded suet or butter, cut into small pieces (or a combination of the two)
• 75ml (5tbsp) ground mixed spice
• 350g (12oz) dried mixed fruit (I use more like 16oz)
• juice and rind of l lemon
• juice and rind of 1 orange
• 3 eggs beaten
• fresh milk to mix if required

Break bread up in a bowl and cover with water, leave to stand for 30 mins

Squeeze all water out of bread and crumble into a bowl

Add sugar, suet, spice, fruit juice, rind and eggs

Stir well to mix, it should be like the dropping consistency of a fruit cake. Add a little milk if necessary

Pour into a greased roasting tin

Bake at 180c(350F) Mark 4 for about 1 ½ hours or until firm to touch.
