CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD PUDDING



Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding image

I HATE bread pudding normally. But a few years ago, while looking online for recipes with cranberries in them, I saw this (again I can't remember the site) & something about it just made me make it. I've "tweaked" it some as it originally called for french bread, less cinnamon, & plain O.J. not concentrate but I think either way it would be WONDERFUL! I love it,& in the final test, all of my kids love it. It is creamy, it has a sweet/tart flavor; just all around delicious. When I serve it, which isnt too often, I say to heck with the calories and serve it in a puddle of very lightly sweetened heavy cream. COOK TIME IS ALSO THE TIME IT HAS TO SOAK IN THE FRIDGE

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 extra large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted (no substitutions)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, non diluted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 loaves kings Hawaiian bread, all crusts removed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (24 ounces, I just tear it into small pieces after i take the crusts off it makes for much less work)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped cranberries
5 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps:

  • In large bowl,whisk eggs, add sugar and beat well.
  • Add the milk and cream, melted butter, vanilla, o.j.,,orange zest, cinnamon and salt and whisk until well blended Add bread cubes and stir extremely well with a spoon.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and put into the fridge.
  • After it has soaked 1 1/2 hours, remove from fridge, stir it well, re-cover it and put it back, letting it soak for another hour and a half.
  • Spray a 13 X 9 inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Take pudding out of the fridge, stir vigorously.
  • Add cranberries and stir, mixing well.
  • Pour half of the pudding into the prepared pan.
  • With a spoon, put globs of the marmalade in rows up and down the pudding. (If you like marmalade, feel free to put extra; if you don' like it at all, feel free to omit it).
  • Carefully spoon rest of pudding into pan; it will be very full so be careful.
  • Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for approximately 50 minutes.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the pudding. If, when pulled out, there is no liquidy custard clinging to it, it is done.
  • Serve slightly warm or cold. We like it better after it has been refrigerated for a few hours-- texture is just better when it is cold.

I entered this recipe into the 43rd Pillsbury Bake-Off but, alas, it did not make the cut. It received rave reviews from my co-workers; some of which said they normally hate bread pudding. The key is to use fresh orange zest and juice!
