With Moroccan lamb shanks in the oven and a pop up visit from my brother, I thought I'd make his favourite dessert (well maybe other than trifle) - sticky date pudding. Recipe located, oven on and away we go. A total sugar hit but worth it once in a while. Connor loved it, when I was boxing up some leftovers for Sam he was not impressed - he wanted it all! Ingredients For the pudding 250g pitted dates - finely chopped 1 tsp bicarb soda 1 and a 1/2 cups of boiling water 125g
