A nice dessert is made by stirring into a common bread pudding almost any kind of fruit, such as apples, raisins, peaches, prunes, dates, figs, cranberry sauce, jelly etc.; then bake.

Beat the yolks of eggs and stir them with the rest of the ingre- dients, reserving the whites for the top. Bake the pudding 25 min- utes, then take it from the oven, spread a layer of currant jelly over the top; beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, with 1 tablespoon of sugar, spread this on top of the jelly, return to the oven to brown on top. Raspberry jam is equally as good as jelly for this pudding. Serve with cream or a hot sauce. BERRY BREAD PUDDING.— Cut stale bread in even slices, pare off the crust, and butter each slice; put the largest slice on a platter, cover it with canned huckleberries or blackberries which are heated scalding hot; put on another slice, cover it with the berries, and so on till all is used, and you have a neat mound of pudding. This may be covered and kept hot in the warming closet until serv- ing time, and eaten with hard sauce, or made early in the day and served cold with sugar and cream — it is delicious either way. If the berries are very sweet, adding 2 or 3 tablespoons of vinegar is an improvement.
