Hmmm ! a delicious wintery pudd that warms you nicely on a cold winters night. I used a new Cranberry fruit bread available and the flavours all blended very well together. Will make again.

I made this as a brekky treat using some leftover coffee date bread, made for a lovely brekky with some vanilla yoghurt. Thanks Pat!

Good pud ! As it is a little cooler I decided to use my glut of apples and glut of bread - courtesy of DD having a part time job at Bakers Delight !! All went well - I only wished I had whipped cream to go with it and not low fat yoghurt !!

This was great! I made it for a elderly Mexican Gentleman that did not like "Canadian Food" I used raisin bread and added a small amount of candied fruit. I too used vanilla instead of the bean. The verdict from Mexico was !Rico!.

This was dessert tonight. I used a 1/2 TBS of Splenda Brown Sugar and 2 TBS of regular Splenda. To be honest I added 1/2 a tsp of vanilla extract to the milk after removing the vanilla bean as I felt that it really didn't impart very much flavor which was a disappointment. Loved the use of fruit bread here. I made it yesterday and rewarmed it tonight (these puddings are always better the next day) and served it with Recipe #200027. My guests, two of whom are diabetic, loved it.
