Mexidos do Natal

Recipe: cut 200 grams of bread into thin slices and water them with boiling milk. In a saucepan, mix the sugar with water, a cinnamon stick and two thin strips of lemon peel and bring to the boil. Once it thickens, remove from heat. Pour the sliced bread with a fork and the beaten egg yolks. Over a low heat, cook the egg yolks stirring constantly until completely mixed and thickened. Remove from the heat, add a glass of Port wine and raisins, mixing the small cut dry fruits. Stir softly but consistently and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and decorate with chopped dried fruits.
