Capirotadais a Mexican bread pudding traditionally made during the Lenten season, with each ingredient having a symbolic representation.
Our capirotada is made with a rich syrup of dark brown sugar and warm cinnamon.
The syrup is deliciously soaked into crusty French bread, plump golden raisins and toasted almonds.
