Method

  • step 1

    Tear 500g white or wholemeal bread into a large mixing bowl and add 500g mixed dried fruit, 85g mixed peel and 1 ½ tbsp mixed spice.

  • step 2

    Pour in 600ml milk, then stir or scrunch through your fingers to mix everything well and completely break up the bread.

  • step 3

    Add 2 beaten large eggs, 140g light muscovado sugar and zest of 1 lemon, if using. Stir well, then set aside for 15 mins to soak.

  • step 4

    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).

  • step 5

    Stir the melted butter into the pudding mixture, tip into the tin, then scatter with demerara.

  • step 6

    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.

Stupid! Name, no ingredients or cooking instructions

I used suet rather than butter as this is traditional.

There is a typo. It should be 1 1/2 tsp of mixed spice and not tbsp! That would be too strong

It’s not a typo, I have made this recipe and if anything I would add a bit more of the mixed spice. 500grs of bread and fruit - 1 kilo requires a lot of spicing imo

question

Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the following: 500g mixed dried fruit for 200g glacé red cherries and 300g mixed dried fruit?

85g mixed peel with 50g dark chocolate chips and 35g mixed peel?

I’ve just made it with mix of dried fruit and glacé cherries, very tasty
