Method
- Tear the bread into a large mixing bowl and add the fruit, peel and spice. Pour in the milk, then stir or scrunch through your fingers to mix everything well and completely break up the bread. Add eggs, muscovado and lemon zest if using. Stir well, then set aside for 15 mins to soak.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20cm non-stick square cake tin (not one with a loose base). Stir the melted butter into the pudding mixture, tip into the tin, then scatter with demerara. Bake for 1½ hrs until firm and golden, covering with foil if it starts to brown too much. Turn out of the tin and strip off the paper. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Currently cooking away in the oven.
I used very dry left over walnut and date bread to make this (worked well!) I must admit I halved the recipe because I only had 250g of bread however this recipe makes loads! When halved I was hoping this recipe would make 4-5slices however should make 6 large slices. I used luxury mixed fruit and to add a christmassy feel I added a few spoons of chopped hazelnut :) Mixture tasted diving should be lovely :)
