One of the first things I learned to bake from my mom, Zaida, was bread pudding. It is a happy memory that I hold dear to my heart. Over the years I have made different versions, adding my own twist, including this Fruitastic version. Enjoy!
1 Regular Size can of Fruit Cocktail, drained
1 cup of Strawberries, chopped
1 Loaf of Day Old Bread (any type - I used Cuban Bread)
1 TBSP of Vanilla extract
6 eggs
1 cup of milk (whole or 2%)
1 TBSP Cinnamon
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Orange Juice (pulp free)
1 small can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cube the bread into about 1-2" cubes
In a bowl, mix the Milk, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Eggs, and Cinnamon until evenly mixed
Add the cubed bread, strawberries and drained Fruit Cocktail - Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350
Put mixture into a loaf pan or 8x8 baking pan, Set the pan in a large pan filled half way with water.
Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Mix orange juice and powdered sugar to create a glaze.
You can pour the glaze over the whole pudding or on the slices when you plate them or use as a dipping sauce, It's up to you!
