Steps:
- Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
- Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
- Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Butter a 1.2-litre pudding basin, then press a disc of baking parchment into the base. Heat 4cm water in a heavy-based pan and add a trivet or upturned bowl or saucer to the base.
- Sieve the flour, baking powder and bicarb into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, ginger, allspice, cinnamon and ½ tsp fine salt and stir everything together. Wrap the end of the frozen butter in foil and, holding it by the foil end, coarsely grate the butter into the dry ingredients. Unwrap and discard the foil to grate the last piece. Fold everything together so the butter is evenly distributed. Mix in the stem ginger, eggs, treacle, sugar and milk. Spoon into the pudding basin, leaving a small gap for the sponge to rise, and cover with a disc of parchment. Seal the pudding basin with a tight-fitting lid or a double layer of foil, sealed tightly around the basin and tied with cook's string. Set on top of the trivet, cover with a lid and steam for 3 hrs, topping up with water so it doesn't boil dry.
- Pour the syrup into a shallow frying pan, bring to the boil and cook until the syrup is turning a deep golden brown. Quickly whisk in the rum and butter, then whisk in the cream and bubble for 2 mins. Gently tip the sponge pudding out of its basin and onto a serving plate. Pour over the rum sauce and serve with thick cream or vanilla ice cream, if you like.

GINGER CHERRY STEAMED PUDDING WITH SHERRY HARD SAUCE
Steps:
- For the pudding, butter a 2-quart souffle dish with a tightly fitting lid. Have ready a pot with a lid, large enough to hold the covered souffle dish and a rack that will fit in the bottom of the pot to allow water to circulate freely under the dish. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
- Meanwhile place the butter and the brown sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the eggs. Gradually whisk in the molasses and the milk. Stir together the flour, ginger, soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the liquid. Stir in the cherries and raisins. Scrape the batter into the buttered dish and smooth the top.
- Place the rack in the bottom of the pot. Cover the souffle dish and place it in the pot. Pour in enough of the boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish. Cover the pot. Check occasionally to make sure there is enough water and that it is simmering; add boiling water to the pot if necessary. Steam the pudding until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile to make the hard sauce, stir together the butter, sugar and salt until smooth. Slowly stir in the sherry. Chill, but do not allow to become too firm. Carefully remove the pudding from the pot and place on a rack. Uncover and let stand for 10 minutes. Use a small, sharp knife to loosen the pudding from the sides of the dish and unmold. Cut into wedges and serve warm with the hard sauce.

GRAMMY BILLINGS STEAMED CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH SHERRY SAUCE
This recipe goes back for many, many years. Grammy made this every Christmas and everyone loved it. It is easy to make as it doesn't have a lot of strange ingredients. It is served with a Sherry Sauce that is out of this world. It makes the pudding. FUNNY STORY---Our family does not drink anything with alcohol in it. My grammy was a stickler for this, but when it came to her hard sauce for the pudding, she reached for the bottle of sherry. When grammy needed a new bottle (which wasn't very often) she would go down to the "package store" (this what they called them then) and when she got near the store she would walk a little slower. After looking every way, to make sure that no one saw her, she would pop into the store to buy the sherry. Then she would do the same thing when she came out. She would rather have died than someone see her in a "package store". At any rate, everyone loved her Christmas Pudding and Sherry Sauce. She always made it with suet but I guess it could be made with any fat---butter, crisco, etc. I have hesitated to post this because of the fact that we don't drink, but we do like this and I wanted to save it with all my other recipes for my kids. I hope you will enjoy it, too.
