Preheat oven to 350 F.

Ingredients:
8 slices of stale or dry bread — trim off the crusts and cut bread into cubed
2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. sugar (or less)
3 c. rhubarb, diced
1/3 c. raisins
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon each: ginger, cloves, ground black pepper
1/2 lemon rind (preferably organic), grated

Method:
1. Grease a 2 quart casserole or 9×13″ pan. Add bread cubes.
2. Combine milk and melted butter. Pour over bread, stir gently, and let set for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over the bread/milk/butter mixture and stir gently again.
4. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
