Candied Cumquat Bread and Butter Pudding

"This recipe is taken from "The Sydney Morning Herald" Oct 20 2009 but slightly modified. A twist on traditional bread and butter pudding. You can make the cumquats ahead of time but store in fridge. Also by adding 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tsp of yellow mustard seeds and 3 cloves when cooking the cumquats you can then serve as a condiment to ham, cold meats or roast duck."
