What's for dinner tonight??? (cheeseburger, tomato, bread, meal)

[crazyworld]

Here is the recipe....This came from an old cookbook that I have had for about 30 years
It is called Spices of the World Cookbook by McCormick (McCormick/Shilling spices)

Spiced Bread Pudding

2 cups dry leftover bread cubes
4 cups milk, scalded
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon butter
1 cup raisins
2 Tablespoons Vanilla (yes Tablespoons)







Soak bread in milk for about 5 minutes. Add sugar, butter, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Pour slowly over eggs.
Add vanilla and raisins..mix well.
Pour into buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole or baking dish. Place that pan in a pan of hot water in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until a silver knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.


If you have made custard in the past, this is pretty much what the consistency is.
Usually I have to make a double batch because it doen't last long.
If you are usuing fresh raisins, great, if not, I just soak them in milk to plump them up..drain the milk off before using them.

Morning all-CrazyW love bread pudding and that's a keeper. I soak my raisins in Amaretto.

Okay Crazy and Lasey--copied and pasted another recipe--the bread pudding plus Laseys idea of soaking the raisins in Amaretto. I will have to try this--never had bread pudding but sounds great! Thanks for posting the recipe here.

Lacey....great idea Amaretto...I will try that!

[LaceyEx]

LOL-Crazy-I even add the amaretto to the pudding!!!!!!!!! Can't have too much amaretto.

Corned beef, cabbage and bacon, mashed, soda bread was so good-glad we have enough for leftovers. Maybe "bubble and squeak".
