In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, caster sugar and mixed spice together and whisk well

Spread the marmalade evenly to cover 5 pieces of white bread, placing another sliced bread on top. Continue till 5 sandwiches are made.

Reduce the heat to a simmer over medium heat, for about 20-25minutes till the oranges have softened, continue stirring so the mixture doesn’t catch on the base.

Do a tester by putting small amount onto a plate and cooling it down to see the consistency in the fridge

Once cooked, transfer into a tray to cool down.
