Capirotada - A Traditional Mexican Desert for Lent (Cuaresma).

Robert:
Yesterday in Chedraui my friend was excitedly buying ingredients for making capirotada; cinnamon sticks, raisins, pecans, almonds, piloncillo (hard blocks of compressed brown sugar), day old sweet rolls, butter and white Oaxaca cheese.

Capirotada is a sort of cross between a fruit cake and bread pudding. Mighty tasty. It is served anytime during the Lenten season, and especially on Good Friday. My friend texted me a while ago that it is going into the oven right now, and she will save me a bit.




Knowing how her family scarfs down capirotada, I'm not getting my hopes up.




Here's a YouTube video showing how to make it:
