Put broken matzos in a bowl, cover with cold water and steep for 10 minutes. Drain and mash with a fork.

Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F. Grease an 8/9 inch square baking dish, or thereabouts. I use oblong!

To mashed matzos add apple, raisins, apricots, nuts. Mix well. Then add half the sugar and cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, lemon zest and juice. Mix again.

Beat eggs with remaining sugar for a few mins til creamy and sugar disolved. Stir in melted margerine and scrape into baking dish. Level out and scatter over the 1tbs of sugar.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and top is browned and slightly puffed (1hr).

Once baked melt marmalade or jam in a pan and brush over pudding (optional) to glaze and leave to cool.

Serve hot with cream, room temp with tea, cold as a midnight snack!
