I usually make a bread pudding for Christmas (as I find Christmas puddings a bit rich). I hadn’t thought of using mincemeat instead of the fruits - thank you for the tip and Happy Christmas to you 🎄
The look on your face after that first spoonful was pure joy. I've never actually had bread pudding but after seeing your magic, I'm sure going to be making/trying this over Christmas. Thanks Rik x
Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper. What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter. Plus spices, eggs, mincemeat and serve with custard. Oh happy desserts 😋😋😋😋😋
I took my nephew to see Santa Claus at the shopping mall earlier Rik. He'd clearly been drinking and he stunk of cigarettes. Christ knows what Santa thought of him. Lovely stuff mate😋
Perfection Rik! I make up a lot of different bread puddings, but I have never thought of mincemeat and brandy! I thought for a minute you were going to start singing, It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas, and lo and behold you did! 😊👏🌲
Oh man, my Ma used to knock out deserts like this. You get none till you eat your spinach. Her best was Rum Baba in a ring mold with the centre full of raspberries, every year, gone in seconds. Have a Newcy Brown on me, love you chef!
❤Your giggles of sheer joy at just the smell of this dessert has sold me on it!!! love it. Will give it a go. Thanks Rik and Merry Christmas to you and yours😊😊😊
Great minds think alike! I made a mincemeat bread and butter pudding earlier in the week! Wonderful Christmas flavours! It’s gone, by the way! Lol 😋😊🎄🎅🏻🇨🇦
My Mum used to do this, buy Mincemeat after Christmas in the clearance, and used it to make the mixed fruit go further if money was tight, I still buy jars after Christmas now when on clearance, got some of Tesco's luxury ones a few years back at 20p from my little local one, as they had no storage, bought 10 of them, and they had her long dates on them. Also, they are nice for Bread & Butter Pudding as well. Have you tried Answer to in it,, gives a a nice almond/Bakewell flavour to the pudding. So pleased to see someone making a proper old fashion British Pudding.
Bread pudding is one of my favourite puddings and made like this, I could smell and taste it so I’m definitely going to make this Rik. This looks so darn good. TFS.
Certainly is beginning to look alot like christmas, fantastic twist on a good old fashioned pudding Rik. I could almost smell it and will definitely be making this Thank you Rik 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This takes me back to when I was a kid and I’d come home from school and mum had made a huge bread pudding in a big roasting pan, the warm kitchen and the waft of mixed spice was heavenly😋☺️
Ooh my bigmum (grandma) used make a lovely bread pudding, I used to pop in to see her every day on my way home from school 😁 This looks great Rik 😋my mouth is watering just looking at it.
Your face was a picture when you tried your lovely pudding. Very similar to the one I use to make in the Winter months, only thing was I needed to make it in individual tin foil cups, for up scale restaurants, and I think it’s really better made as you did in a dish. I use to cook them in a water bath so the bottom stayed soft, and the top got crispy.
You are really selling me on this pudding, Rick. Easy, no fuss and delicious without the heaviness of a steamed pudding, which is not ideal in a stinking hot and muggy country like Aotearoa New Zealand in December. This may well challenge the cooling antidote of a trifle and kiwifruit and strawberry topped pavlova this year.
Ohhh, that looks soooo good! I love the idea of mincemeat in it. So festive! I miss having a mince pie for Christmas. You can't find one to save your life in a grocery store here (NY suburb) anymore, and maybe not at a bakery, either. I think the supermarket still carries one kind in a jar, maybe two if you're lucky (with and w/o alcohol flavoring). You've inspired me to search for it again. And did I miss the custard recipe? I'd love to see a hard sauce recipe, too. Never found one like my Welsh grandma's. Only time she allowed the use of alcohol in her home was to flame up the Christmas pudding, and she might've put a drop in the hard sauce, too. That single bottle must have lasted her 20 years.😆
This will be as good as the last recipe i'm sure Rik. In the new year i'm going to make recipe cards with all the recipes i love by yourself 🤪❤️. I don't know how many pens i'll get through lol. Thank you🤗🇬🇧
I wish I was there with you to taste a slice. I cant make it myself as not one person in my miserably family would eat it and I would have to eat the lot...and I would!! 🎅
@BackyardChef Bread pudding is very popular in New Orleans. Many restaurants that have Jambalaya will also have a bread pudding with a whiskey or bourbon sauce.
That 's what I always done, then used for bread pudding. For some luxury Tesco ones for 20p a jar a few years back in my little local, they had to get rid, as no storage, so I bought 10.and a very long date on. saved me a fortune on mixed fruit. Also nice in Bread & Butter Pudding.
Do you have a Trader Joe’s near you, their sourdough is very good,and I just bought an organic multi grain which is also very good from them, a while ago they did a raisin,and nut dark bread I loved,but the last twice I have been there I haven’t seen it.Their breads are not too expensive. Also look for a good bakery, I’m in NYC so plenty of good bakeries here, some of the Middle Eastern bakeries make lovely loaves.
@@thaisstone5192Sorry to hear that,and you are so right about supermarket bread, when I came to the US, 60 years ago as young woman the bread was the hardest thing for me to get use to, in fact I only ate rye, or pumpernickel, as most bread was too sweet for me, oh,and of course bagels.
That's the work of a true, instictive cook and - culinary genius. I'm putting this on the menu at work - seriously!
👍
Hope you enjoy. Appreciated. Thank You. Best, Rik

I'll be right there, Rik! If I bring a bowl of Jambalaya, may I trade for a big serving of bread pudding? 🤣
Oh my word! 💜
Wouldn't that be a fantastic meal - Jambalaya followed by bread pudding - unusual combo but it works for me. Thank You. Best, Rik
