Bread pudding is a dessert that was born of necessity long ago. It was a recipe cooked up by thrifty homemakers to use every bit of leftovers in interesting ways to feed their families. This bread pudding, from an old Amish cookbook, is absolutely incredible. It is definitely a comfort food, and can be made richer with cinnamon sauce or caramel sauce. You can also substitute berries in place of the raisins for a delicious change of pace. It is a fairly basic bread pudding recipe, but it is truly the soul satisfying treat that most people crave. Nothing beats warm bread pudding on a cold or rainy night.

A family recipe that I tweaked a bit. My mother made this with turkey ham instead of turkey breast, but the sodium content when made with turkey ham is much too high. The "stew" is really more along the lines of a soup consistency, but you can thicken the broth with cornstarch if you desire a thicker "stew". Enjoy!

You can use any flavour of jello with any flavour of yogourt you wish, The traditional Danish Dessert this is based on is Lemon and Vanilla flavoured and this combination (Lemon Jello with Vanilla Yogourt ) is still my favourite.
