I tasted a pumpkin bread pudding at a dinner party and had to recreate it. My pumpkin bread pudding recipe is a variation of a recipe from epicurious.com that i took and added and subtracted my own little twists. ** This bread pudding is also great with walnuts in it. —brooklyn 'd'

How large a can of pumpkin do you use? Actually, volume and not weight would be helpful, because I would probably use roasted fresh pumpkin or butternut squash that I've pureed in the food processor. This looks so tasty! ;o)
