CRANBERRY BREAD PUDDING AND AMARETTO SAUCE



Cranberry Bread Pudding and Amaretto Sauce image

The only thing more comforting than a warm bread pudding on a cold day is one drizzed with a warm Amaretto sauce. The tartness of cranberries is a wonderful contrast to the sweeter elements of this dish, while the nuttiness of almonds and Amarertto takes it from "comforting" to gourmet. Delicious!!

STEAMED CRANBERRY PUDDING



Steamed Cranberry Pudding image

One Christmas, my husband-a Navy chaplain for 20 years-had to spend the holiday overseas, away from our two children and me. He asked that I send him this recipe so he could have a taste of home. Steamed Cranberry Pudding has been in my file for more than 30 years. It was passed on by a fellow teacher who was retiring. Her family had long enjoyed it, using their own homemade sorghum molasses as a special ingredient. Chuck and I now live in a log home in a wooded area. We're visited regularly by armadillos, raccoons, wild pigs, deer, bobcats and other creatures. We enjoy watching them-but they make it difficult to establish a compost pile!

This would go nicely with a Thanksgiving dinner. Top this bread pudding with its Lemon Sauce recipe #74942.

Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups stale bread, cubed
2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 lb fresh cranberries
water, to cover
4 eggs
cinnamon
grated nutmeg, to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 tablespoons rum (dark preferred)
3/4 cup melted butter, cooled
2 firm tart apples, cut in chunks
1/2 cup walnut halves

Steps:

  • Place bread and 2 cups sugar in mixing bowl.
  • Pour milk over and mix well.
  • Allow bread to soak up milk for about an hour.
  • In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and cranberries.
  • Cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, rum and melted butter.

  • Pour entire mixture into baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until pudding is puffed and golden.
  • Cool slightly, cut into squares and serve with lemon sauce recipe#74942.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for a sturdier bread pudding. Fresh bread tends to be too soft and can result in a mushy pudding.
  • Don't overmix the bread and egg mixture. Overmixing can make the bread pudding tough.
  • Soak the bread cubes in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the bread to absorb the liquid and become custard-like.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits and nuts in your bread pudding. This will add flavor and texture.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or custard sauce.
