Tagged this because it has pistachio nuts & raisins & because it's a bread pudding, although of a different kind than I usually make! A GREAT PUDDING, which I made in an 8-inch square baking dish! Thanks for a very nice threat! [Tagged, made & reviewed for the VIP in this month's Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 15]
