I think that eating and enjoying Bread Pudding is an acquired taste. Although I have previously not been terribly fond of most bread puddings I had high hopes for this one. Especially with the apricot jam on top. I used at least 3 times the amount of jam so that more of the flavor would be on each piece. It was nice and moist. Unfortunately this still didn't quite meet up with what I think bread pudding should taste like. But not sweet enough for our tastes. I'm sure however that those who love bread pudding would enjoy this recipe. That is why I'm still giving it a 4 star rating. However be warned...this is a very labor intensive recipe. buttering all those little pieces of bread took a long time. Made and reviewed for Pac Spring 2009.
