This is a very delicious bread pudding (no butter, despite its name!). We loved the addition of apples and who doesn't love a rum soaked raisin! Thanks Rita! -
Made this for a dinner party and it was fabulous - I used fruit bread and added some dried cranberries - soaked the fruit in brandy and it gave it a hint of alcohol.. Served with icecream.. a hit with my chef parents! -
ZWT 3---made this last night with help from husband...it was really hard to keep him from eating all the raisins. This recipe excelled in the pudding category as the cream added a richness not usually found in a bread pudding. I loved the addition of the apples along with the raisins and everyone declared it a hit. Thanks Rita, we will be having this dish again. -
This took about 10 minutes longer on the prep, but man is this ever good!! It is really silky smooth going down. I love the flavor of the vanilla and I think it must be the cream that gives it that silky taste. I soaked the raisins in Bacardi Gold Rum so I had to try and refrain myself from eating the raisins! I poured about 1/4 cup rum over the raisins and then microwave it for 1 minute. I'll be making this one again, thank you for sharing Rita L I made this for Zaar Tag 2006
