Cinnamon-raisin bread pudding

My grandma used to prepare the most incredible cinnamon-raisin bread pudding when I was a child. We would all assemble at the table, awaiting her to bring out the warm, savory dish, since it was a family favorite. The air is fragrant with cinnamon and vanilla, and the plump raisins offer the perfect amount of sweetness. It was the epitome of comfort food, and it always brought the family closer.

Years later, I understood that the bread pudding my grandmother made was more than just a sweet delicacy. It served as a means of utilizing leftover bread and lowering food waste.

She would hold the edges of loaves and any kind of stale bread, and turn them into the sweet treat we all love. It was a lesson in resourcefulness and sustainability that sticks with me to this day.

I think this recipe is worth saving and preparing, not only because it’s delicious, but because it’s a reminder of the importance of making the most of the ingredients we have on hand.
