Mother-In-Law's Bread Pudding

"A favourite of all the family - we love this. It cuts into bars so that we can take it out with us as an energy snack. We consistently asked my mother in law to make this whenever we visited - and then it occurred to me to ask for the recipe! :-) I lost the recipe recently and had to ring and ask her for it again - so here it is for safe keeping, and to share. Thanks, Penny! PS the suet is what gives it its texture, but it could be replaced with any other fat. Grated hard butter works just as well."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to cook, and I love to eat! As a result I prefer to cook and eat healthy, low cal food on the whole, but only if it tastes good :-) I'm British, lived in Germany for 12 years, but have now moved back to the UK. We try to grow and make as much of our food as we can.
