Hot and sticky puddings rich with syrup, chocolate, caramelised fruit or jam are the ultimate comfort food for lazy weekends
PROPER PUDDINGS

Peanut butter & jam pudding

The perfect food hug is a jam sponge pudding, but we have gone a step further, think peanut butter and jam sandwiches! The depth of salty, nutty flavour you get from peanuts works really well in this pudding, especially contrasted with a hidden layer of lovely jammy fruit underneath. Serve with a generous helping of vanilla ice cream or warm custard

Serves 8

Prep 15 mins plus cooling

Cook 1 hr

  • 400g frozen berries of your choice

  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

  • 30g salted peanuts vanilla ice cream or custard, to serve

1 Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the berries into a large saucepan with the jam, then heat gently for about 5 mins until just starting to turn saucy. Spoon some of the liquid into a small bowl and mix with the cornflour. Stir the cornflour mixture into the fruit mixture in the pan, then simmer for 2 mins. Pour into the base of a baking dish (ours was 18 x 25cm) and set aside.
