Sainsbury's

Serves 8 (so half the quantities)

Ingredients

350g white bread (about half a loaf), unsliced
150g butter, melted
225g marmalade
3 tbsp demerara sugar
3 oranges, cut into segments

The custard:
3 medium eggs, beaten
100g light muscovado sugar
450ml single cream
Grated zest of 1 orange

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Roughly tear the bread, including the crusts, into pieces about the size of an egg and place in a deep 20 × 30cm baking dish.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the bread. Melt the marmalade in a small pan over a low heat, then pour over the bread and butter mixture, mixing well. Carefully stir in the orange segments.
  3. To make the custard, lightly whisk together the eggs, sugar, cream and orange zest. Pour over the bread mixture.
  4. Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until just set. Don’t worry if the pudding still looks a little unset – it will continue to cook slightly when out of the oven and is best when it has a moist texture.
