Bread pudding is one of the most comforting of all desserts, and this fruit-packed version does not disappoint. One of the great things about bread pudding is that it gets made ahead, making it a great dessert for entertaining. Though you can refrigerate it for just an hour, it can also be left in the fridge overnight, leaving you time on the day of your party to focus on other dishes. All you need to do is remember to pop it in the oven just before you sit down for dinner.
