OLD-FASHIONED BREAD PUDDING

1 package (4-serving size) Jell-O vanilla pudding and pie filling (not instant)
4 tablespoons sugar, divided use
3 cups milk, divided use
1/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 slices dry white bread, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Lemon wedge (optional garnish)

Combine pudding mix and 2 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan. Blend in 2 cups of the milk. Add raisins. Cook and stir over medium heat, until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.

Pour remaining 1cup milk over bread cubes in a bowl to moisten; then stir into pudding mixture. Pour into a 1-quart baking dish.

Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with spices. Sprinkle over pudding.

Broil until sugar is lightly browned and bubbly, about 4 or 5 minutes.

Garnish with lemon wedge, if desired. Serve warm or chilled.

Makes about 4 cups or 6 servings
