      Title: Cherry Bread Pudding
 Categories: Veg-cook, August, Ovo lacto
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      3    Eggs or substitute
    1/4 c  Dark honey; or to taste
  1 1/2 c  Nonfat plain yogurt
           - (approximate)
      1 ds Salt; scant
      8 sl Cracked wheat bread
      1 c  Dried pitted cherries
    1/2 c  Organic red flame raisins
           Spice (optional)
 
  Boil some water, pour over cherries and raisins to soak, set aside.
  
  Beat the eggs and honey with a fork until well blended. Stir in
  yogurt and salt. Break up about 8 slices of cracked wheat bread, or
  crumble it up, and stir in. Add in plumped up cherries and raisins,
  drain the water off first. Pour into a greased 5x7" pan, or a large
  pie tin. Bake 400 F until the aroma of bread pudding hits your
  nose, about 40 minutes.
  
  Serve with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top.
  
  Notes:

  This is just right in terms of sweetness for me. In order to try to
  placate the sugar gods, I tried it out with caramel sauce, and it
  ruined it for me. Nothing like the taste of burnt sugar to dull
  one's taste buds. Nonetheless, the caramel sauce recipe follows.
  Optionally mix some spices in with the eggs before baking, such as
  1/4 to 1/2 t of cinnamon, mace, allspice, or cardamom powder.
