Sticky Pear and Date Pudding

This week’s recipe from Garden News Magazine. Each week I have a look around to see what I’ve grown in the garden, and I make something for the family. It’s not fancy food, just good old-fashioned, easy-to-make family favourites. I try not to use too many ingredients, and include common items anyone would often have in their kitchen cupboards. there’s nothing worse than buying an unusual ingredient for a recipe, and never using it again! If you have a go at making this, please let me know how you’ve got on and send a photo too. Happy cooking!

The printing never really does the food justice. It’s always prettier in real life.
