Apricot Jam Bread Pudding

1. 1

   ["Preheat the oven to 180C / 360f. Well the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Peel the pear and cut it into small pieces, a little smaller than the bread. If you have a very ripe and soft pear you don't have to bake it but if it is a little hard you might want to bake it in some butter before you add it to the oven dish; and if you like the taste of baked pear you can do this anyway.", "Cut the bread in pieces and put it in a small oven dish with the pear and the raisins.", "Mix the egg, milk, jam and the spices together (don't forget to add a pinch of salt)

3. 3

   Pour the mixture over the bread in the oven dish and slide it in the oven. If the bread is really hard you might want to let it soak for a couple of minutes before you slide it in the oven.", "(You will be jumping up and down in front of the oven soon, impatient for it to be ready; the smell just drives you crazy.)

4. 4

   Bake for about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean."]
