Pretty good - very easy to throw together and you don't have to cook it in a water bath. Most of my raisins sunk to the bottom - I used to know what caused that, but I can't remember. Good balance of sweetness and spices. I'll definitely make it again - Thanks Kree! -
This recipe is almost like the one in my Better Homes and Garden cookbook except this one is easier to follow. I will have to disagree that this is not a recipe for Bread pudding, that is what it is called in my cookbook. This is very easy to make and tastes wonderful warm right out of the oven. YUM -

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
