6 Thick slices stale bread
6 oz Mixed dried fruit
6 oz Suet
3 oz Demerara sugar
1 tspn Ground mixed spice
1 egg
Cut the crusts from the bread and soak in a bowl of water.
Squeeze bread to remove as much water as possible. Put the bread in bowl and beat with a fork.
Add the suet, egg, mixed fruit, sugar and spice and mix thoroughly.
Put in a tin or similar and bake at 180�C or 350�F Gas 4 for about an hour.
Bit stodgy I would have thought with suet though I remember my Mum used to put suet in bread pud.
