Bread Jelly

Ingredients

• Odd pieces of bread left over
• syrup or sugar to sweeten
• a little flavouring as desired

Method

1. 1

   Take any pieces of bread left over, place in a pan of water, bring to the boil and place on the back of the stove; cover the pan, and simmer as long as possible —5 to 8 hours.

2. 2

   The bread must not be stirred, and as the water will evaporate more may have to be added.

3. 3

   When the bread breaks up and begins to jelly, sweeten with syrup or sugar and flavour as desired.

4. 4

   Turn out into a pudding mould and let cool; when cold it will be like a jelly.
