I'm stuck on two: 2d. A pudding made in Northern England from the young leaves of the bistort plant (6). The answer appears to be Easter LEDGE but there's an S on the end (from APOSTLE) which doesn't seem right.

Secondly, 19a. A protein-digesting enzyme found in pineapple (8) It looks like it should be BROMELAIN but there are not enough spaces. Do you think it could be BROMELIN or BROMELAN ??

Any help will be appreciated.

Bromelin - alternative spelling
Easter ledge

Bistort Easter-Ledge Pudding
What is the clue for apostle?
Question Author
Thanks for Bromelin. As I said, there's an S on LEDGE so I'm confused. The clue for apostle is "Any of the 12 disciples of Christ who shared the Last Supper before his crucifixion".
What letters do you have?
Question Author
I only have the A from Constantine (the first Christian Roman Emperor) and the L from PAPILLON (a breed of toy spaniel with large ears).
Question Author
Sorry,Scorpiojo, I expect this would help: A - - S(?) - L - !!
It's apostle ..can't be anything else .
Paschal puddings are known as 'Easter Ledge Pudding', 'Easter Ledges' or 'Easter May Giants
Where does the S fit in the 2d answer?
At the end of ledgS
Setter's error??
Question Author
Thanks, folks. I can only think that it must be Ledges but I'm not convinced.

Any other would-be solvers of the Jumbo puzzle out there who can tell me what they have put ?
Sorry, I thought it was only 5 letters
Question Author
I'm willing to go with setter's error. Gotta go out now for my Easter tea so many thanks, particularly to Scorpiojo.
I can't see where it's an error .
The bistort plant is known as easter ledges according to Wiki .
And there are plenty of references on Google to easter ledges pudding .

easter ledges
My fault, Shaney - I thought the second word only had 5 letters, ending in S
