Leftover Bread Bread Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups white bread (about 4 slices, cubed) or 3 cups cinnamon raisin bread (about 4 slices, cubed)
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/4 - 1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup raisins

Preparation

Cut or tear bread into 2\" cubes and place on a baking sheet.
Pop them into a preheated 325 F oven for just a few minutes (keep checking them),just to barely toast them(the idea is to dry out the bread a bit so that it doesn't all turn to mush later in the pudding).
Set the bread cubes aside to cool when they are done.
Using a whisk, beat together eggs, milk, marmalade, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Place the bread cubes into an ungreased 8 1/2\" round deep baking dish.
Sprinkle raisins over the top, then pour the egg mixture over all.
Bake at 325 F for 40 minutes or untila knife inserted near the center comes out clean (not gloppy) and the custard seems set.
Cool slightly before serving and chill the leftovers.
