Slow cooker strawberry jam and scone pudding is an indulgent dessert for those cold days.
While the sun does keep showing its face here, it quickly disappears behind clouds to produce April showers with a bite to the wind.
After a long day walking in the countryside and working up a healthy appetite, I found some scones that needed to be used up in the bread bin, and thought I could make a cream tea-inspired pudding in the slow cooker as a treat for the family.
Strawberry jam, sultana scones, and a homemade custard combine to make this tasty warming pud.
This is proper comfort food, which if they’re anything like my lot, the whole family will love.

Just amazing for using g up left over scones especially when trying g to be frugal during g lockdown.
Bertie says
Once baked can they be frozen?
bakingqueen74 says
Yes, you could freeze portions or the whole dish in a container for a month or two. After defrosting reheat as you would bread and butter pudding eg in the microwave or oven.

Thank you

You know I always forget that scones exist and I’m not sure why! We need a scone revival! Thanks for joining in with #BAKEoftheWEEK – round up and new week’s linky is now live on my site.

I absolutely love the idea of using up leftover scones this way. If only I’d seen this #BakeoftheWeek post earlier today – we have 4 left form this morning’s batch that the kids made!
Thanks for a great idea!

What a brilliant idea Lucy – next time I make scones I will make an extra set so that I can try it.

I have yet to make this kind of pudding in my slow cooker (mostly because we would never have leftover scones in my house!) but it looks like pure comfort food. Yum!
