Apple & Raisin Bread pudding

 

This turned out well. I did add some flour as I left too much water in the bread. 



11 slices bread (crusts and slightly stale are good)

2 eggs

3oz soft brown sugar

4oz Margarine

4oz Raisins soaked in cold tea *

3 medium Apples or Pears

1-2 tsp Cinnamon

½ tsp Nutmeg

 

1.    Soak bread in water for about 2 hours

2.    Soak raisins in cold tea

3.    Squeeze water well out of bread; Drain raisins

4.    Peel and cut apples into cubes

5.    Cut margarine into small pieces

6.    Mix all ingredients well together **

7.    Place in a large baking dish

8.    Bake for 2 to 2 ½ hours until solid

9.    Cut into squares; can top with icing if desired or serve with custard

 

* Can substitute with rum

** If mixture is too wet add some plain flour
