My mother gave me the recipe for this old-fashioned pudding. It's a great way to use up day-old bread. Nothing enhances this traditional dessert better than garden-grown rhubarb. My husband and 8-year-old daughter just love it.

Ingredients

8 slices bread, lightly toasted
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, cubed
5 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

1. Remove crusts from bread; cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Place in a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish.
2. In a large saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan; remove from the heat. Stir in butter until melted. Pour over bread; let stand for 15 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, rhubarb, sugar, cinnamon and salt; stir into bread mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until set. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
