This is very similar to my mother's lovely bread pudding, the only differences being; Soak the bread in milk, not water. Leave out the orange rind and minced chopped peel and substitute a heaped tbsp of marmalade (with rind, not smooth marmalade). Perfect!

Not bread pudding as I know it! Leave out orange and minced chopped peel. Yuck! My Mother would be turning in her grave.
