  Could you do this in a traditional oven?

  This was lovely and the children really liked it. We tripled the ingredients for a whole family and it was a little soggy in the middle so next time we will make two smaller ones. The ginger was a bit strong for the children so next time we will use a bit less. Overall, georgious.

  I didn't have any ginger preserve but I had some stem ginger (the kind that looks like little balls) which needed using up. I chopped two "balls" very finely, mixed in some syrup from the jar until it looked like ginger marmalade and used that instead. For those asking about a conventional oven, Delia Smith's "One is Fun" contains a recipe for Individual Bread and Butter Pudding which could possibly be adapted.

  Umm, why is this billed as a 'vegetarian pudding' ?! There aren't many puddings out there based around meat!

  Definitely using this again! Think it might become a dinner party fail safe. I love the bite of fresh ginger and the preserve was just a tad too sweet, so grated in about half a centimetre of ginger into the layers and finished with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Perfect.
