Pear Raisin Bread Pudding image

At the fruit market I found some wonderful pears and couldn't resist buying some. I got home and wanted to make a pear dessert, so I searched the 'Zaar and found a few recipes I liked, and as usual, had to mess them up and make my own! So thanks to Dancer (Recipe #80786) and TeraGram (Recipe #39011) for the inspiration, and also to my old faithful "Central Cookery Book" (an Australian/Tasmanian Icon). Also, my eggs were home-laid and all double yolkers, so you may want to use two whole eggs and two egg yolks, depending on your eggs.
