My husband loved these. . therecipe is from a library book, I didn’t write down which one…It’s from a Watties sponsored TV programme and both the book and programme were called Let’s live or was it Let’s cook …I suppose you could simply leave out the pears…

I make my sticky date puddings in muffins tins. Just the right size great for freezing!
