  Looks good, tastes good - going in my favourites file. Really nice tang and beautifully moist. Used mini pineapple rings!

  I last made thsi dish when I was at school! But I made it with my kids and it was great and easy to do. I used fresh pineapple too, It didn't look as good but tasted just as good.

  I've just made this and it was very delicious. I agree that it was probably a tad too sweet so next time I'd probably do half the quantity of the butter and sugar mix. Unfortunatly we only had the dreaded vanilla essence in the house and it tasted slightly too harsh, so definitely go for the extract.

  This recipe is Fantastic!!! A little less sugar though to compensate for the pineapple syrup.

  I am a beginner to cooking. This recipe is really easy and soooo tasty, I used pinapple chunks and re-arranged the cherrys into a big heart. Girlfriend was impressed......smooth.

  I made this and I had exactly the same problem as Soph's Stuff (19th April) e.g. making it in a loose bottom tin and the contents dripping out/cooking on the outside but not in the middle. I had to overlap some of the pineapple rings and wonder if this had anything to do with it as the fruit was slightly more stacked in the centre. If anyone can explain this please help me as I really want to make this properly!!

  I have made this pudding a few times over the years, but this was by far the best recipe I have tried, my whole family enjoyed this after a roast last Sunday, did only use 80g of sugar, as advised on one of the suggestions, and I agree that was sweet enough!

  I took this to a 40s/50s party. Everyone loved it and said it was better with the sticky topping than they remember from their childhood.

  I made this for a family gathering but substituted the glace cherries with drained cocktail cherries which gave a lovely almondy flavour. It is not surprising that the old recipes, slightly modified, are still well received by the new generation of cooks.

  So... delicious! I made this last night, and it came out really nice. Everybody just loved it. Mistakenly, I'd forgotten to add a little amount of sugar; but still this was just great. The sweetness was perfect. Great recipe. This is one anyone should try.

  Really easy to make and quite delicious. I left out the tablespoons of pineapple syrup from the sponge mixture as I was worried about it being too sweet. The butter & sugar mixture in the bottom of the tin gives the pineapple a lovely flavour.
