rum (optional)

Raisins to taste
Place the bread in the oven for a few days until it is hard. When hard, make bread crumbs using a food processor, grater, or your hands. Do not make it too fine - clumps are desired.
Boil the water with the cinnamon sticks and cloves. Prepare the eggs by whisking them together.
Pour the water through a strainer, then mix the water only with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and pour into a greased pan.
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Let cool and serve!
