Hello Gloria, I dont see very often people who know of Capirotada, and more so a recipe for it. It is an old family dish and you've got a great recipe! Also I was wondering if you have a recipe for pumkin empanadas and if you could send it to me or post it? Thank You so very much. Roze D.

What i would change about this recipe, because its the original way to do it, is use piloncillo, instead of the sugar. you can find piloncillo in the grocery store.. And if you like, add some chopped coconut on top of it. With the piloncillo , the flavor changes for better...

This recipe is different from the traditional way I've always made capirotada. But since it was so much faster to prepare I wanted to try it. I can't say I loved it. My kids wouldn't touch it and I think my husband only ate it because he felt bad for me. I would recommend more traditional capirotada recipes from other sites.

I made this just because I happened to have all the ingredients on hand. It's fantastic! Like a sweet French toast casserole, minus the eggs. Would be great as a brunch dish.

Try adding 1/2 - 1 tsp each of orange and lemon zest to the recipe.

If I made this again I would double the Sugar water mix. It did not completely cover the bread. Otherwise very good.

This was a great recipe. I used a "fruit Medley" mix(instead of all raisins), which is a combination of chopped dried fruits such as apricots, apples, pears, sultanas and some raisins etc.,between the layers. Everyone loved it at the dinner party. Served with a dollop of cream. You could also substitute chopped Pecan nuts instead of the Walnuts, if you felt they had too stronger flavour.(Lyn Smith)
