Left over challah, white bread, hot dog and hamburger buns or whole wheat bread
Soak all the bread in water and squeeze out all the liquid after bread is softened. I usually squeeze out the bread and then put it in a strainer to get out any more liquid. Put softened bread in large mixing bowl.
Add beaten eggs and mix well.
Cut, peel and pare spotted or soft fruit removing all "spots". Cut the fresh fruit into small pieces and put it in the mixture. Mix again with large spoon.
Add raisins, jelly, sugar and cinnamon. I usually taste the mixture at this point to determine if the taste is right.
Place in greased baking pan, the size of the pan is determined by the amount of bread you have used. Most of the time a 9"x13" is good enough but it is possible you might need a bigger pan or an additional, smaller pan.
Top with cinnamon and sugar and bake at 350°F for about an hour or until the top is a nice, hard, brown color.
