Christmas Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
    1 1/2 cups water
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 pinch ground cloves
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    6 slices white bread, toasted and cut into cubes
    1 cup raisins
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 1/2 cups shredded Colby longhorn cheese

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Grease a 2 quart casserole dish. Set aside.

    2 In a medium saucepan, heat sugar until it liquefies. Insert a candy thermometer and cook sugar without stirring until it reaches 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). It will be a clear, amber colored syrup.

    3 Add the water, cinnamon and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Stir in vanilla.

    4 Layer in prepared casserole dish: half the toast, half the raisins, half the nuts, half the syrup, and half the cheese. Repeat layers. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
