Recipe Summary Capirotada A La Antigua (Mexican Bread Pudding)
Capirotada is a traditional Mexican dessert, similar to what we know of as a bread pudding. In this variation, a baguette is sliced and toasted then layered with fruit in a dish and drizzled with a spiced fruit syrup. This dish is often eaten in Mexico around Easter time and carries a rich symbolism to the Passion of Christ.Ingredients | Pysanky Symbols Pdf1 guava - peeled, halved, and seeded1 cup chopped piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar cones)peel of 1/2 orange2 cinnamon sticks5 whole cloves5 whole allspice berries1 ¾ cups water¾ cup lard1 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices½ cup roasted peanuts½ cup raisins½ cup chopped pecans½ cup candied pineapple (Optional)3 ounces crumbled cotija cheese1 tablespoon multi-colored sprinkles, or to tasteDirectionsCombine guava, piloncillo, orange peel, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice in a saucepan; add water.
