Wow, that looks good! Another use for tamarind paste, very ingenious. And quince jelly too. Interesting. I can smell it just by looking at the pictures ;D
I made this last night, and I'm eating a piece with my coffee at this very moment.
It's extra special! I'd not thought of using dates in a bread pudding, and I wondered whether they'd dominate the taste, but they don't.
The only thing I hadn't got was quince jelly (well, I had, but with chilli, which I felt might have detracted), so I used pumpkin marmalade instead.
Brilliant. Thanks, Gazza :)
Nice one Melbourne,im glad to enjoyed the recipe.
No claim to fame here as we all use old recipes and add or take away things to suit our tastebuds.
I actually added the dates and Tamarind sauce,the dates taste nice left whole and the sauce is sweet and sour
which is different from high street pudding.
I took 4 pieces to the CCU @ St Peters yesterday to see me dad as unfortunately he is a frequent visitor,but the staff enjoy it too after a 16 hour day on ya feet a cuppa and a slice of pudding sets you straight.
