This was a component of the dessert in the Winter Celebration dinner, and is based on this bread and butter pudding recipe.
I used mandarins instead of satsumas.

This was a component of the dessert in the Winter Celebration dinner, and is based on this vanilla icecream recipe.
I added 6 cloves to the custard as it was cooking and steeped them overnight, straining them out when I put the custard into the ice-cream churner.
