Thanks sweetie!! I had a recipe very similar to this and lost it. I adore a good bread pudding...especially with whiskey sauce. I copied this..can't wait to try it. teepi
The addition of a good-quality fine-cut marmalade brushed over the bread makes it fantastically crisp,with a zingy orangey bitterness that just makes the whole thing superb. You want to have the soft insides contrasting with the crispiness on top.
