Cherry and Chocolate Chip Bread & butter pudding is one of our all time family favourites. It always tastes great and can be varied depending on whatever is in the cupboard.
This is the recipe for a plain bread and butter pudding, the one I made in the photo had a few handfuls of milk chocolate chips and a pot of glace cherries layered in with the bread and butter, which the kids loved.
The cherries go glazed and are really chewy after being in the oven. Also really nice are any combination of the following, use whatever you’ve got in the cupboard and whatever takes your fancy: candied orange peel, chocolate chips (milk or plain), chopped chocolate, glace ginger, dried cranberries, sultanas or raisins.
Also lovely is spreading the buttered bread with a thick cut orange marmalade, plum jam, apricot jam or ginger jam.
