Yes I love bread pudding in fall and cool weather but summer when cherries are plentiful is the best time for ME to make it too! NOTE ,IF YOU USE FRESH CHERRIES MAKE SURE TO REMOVE PITTS.

This bread pudding was amazing! I made it for my family and they all raved about it. The bread was soft and moist, and the cherries added a nice tartness. I will definitely be making this again.
