Tannie Maggie gave me this recipe and it was a definite hit with the family. Tannie Maggie used to make it for us every time we went to visit her and her family in Namibia and Beaufort West.  

This simple canned peach pudding recipe is topped with a delicious sauce which takes this dish to the next level.

You can also use other tinned fruit of your choice such as pears and apple.
