    I used some that had been frozen for about six months (:eek:) in a pasta dish - but they were trimmings so I would have used it cooked anyway.

    Can you freeze bread pudding? always a great for leftover bread but sometimes I need to make two, plus it would be nice to have ready made portions for packed lunches.

    thanks

    Hi Jomo , found a thread that suggests you can. Freezing bread pudding?:beer:

    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    It'll be fine ;) As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the Freezing QQ thread.

    Hi I would imagine you could do it either way, but I always cook mine first as normally I'd be batch cooking and one would be for pud that day, then I know they are sweet enough.

    I'd cook the apples but not put the crumble topping on until I was ready to serve it.

    Stew the apples as you would normally then freeze in bags until you need them. This also saves space in the freezer.
