"Karen's Bread Pudding"
This recipe is probably my pride & joy. MANY years ago, my husband and I visited the Amish settlement near Arthur, Illinois. He ate some bread pudding that he absolutely LOVED. In the restaurant, we asked if they had the recipe -- they said it would be in the Amish cookbook in the gift store. Low and behold, there were 5 Amish cookbooks -- one didn't have a bread pudding recipe; one we eliminated via the topping; so we only had to purchase 3. A couple of these had several recipes, so when we got home, I made several batches of bread pudding and NONE were the one he had tasted. After several years of mixing, matching and creating, I finally got it to his taste -- see if you like it -- I don't particularly like bread pudding, but this IS good! Oh, that's why I gave it my name -- I figured after all that, it deserved my name, or vice versa -- I deserved to name it - ha! Karen Z
