CRANBERRY BREAD PUDDING
This down-home dessert takes on a touch of elegance when I serve it warm and drizzled with a thin orange custard sauce. It's so pretty that I often make it for dinner guests using either fresh or frozen cranberries. -Margery Richmond, Fort Collins, Colorado

Steps:
- Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and cover with 1/2 cup of warm water. Set aside to plump for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, lemon zest, orange zest and 4 mint sprigs. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the milk and add the bean to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Remove from the heat and stir for a few minutes to cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar and the gelatin and set aside for 3 minutes, then whisk again. Strain the mixture into a heatproof measuring cup.
- Drain the cranberries and divide them among six 1/2-cup ramekins set on a baking sheet. Stir the milk mixture once and pour it over the cranberries, filling the ramekins. Top each with a challah round. Bake the puddings for 20 minutes, or until the custard is bubbling and still wobbly. Remove from the oven.
- Preheat the broiler. Broil the puddings for about 30 seconds just to toast the bread rounds.
- Let the custards cool, then refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 but not more than 6 hours.
- Just before serving, melt the raspberry jam in a small nonreactive skillet over low heat. Run a knife around the inside of each ramekin to loosen the bread puddings and invert them onto dessert plates.
- Spoon a little of the raspberry jam over and around them. Garnish each plate with a few mint leaves from the remaining sprig and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush bread slices with butter and toast in oven until golden. Set aside.
- Heat cream and milk in a small saucepan until almost boiling. Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar and eggs until thoroughly mixed. Add orange peel, vanilla extract and the cream-milk mixture and whisk together. Stir in the dried cranberries and salt.
- Arrange toasted bread in a 9-by-12-inch baking dish in two overlapping rows. Pour in cream mixture and cover with aluminum foil. Put a smaller pan on top and weigh it down so that the bread slices are submerged. Leave overnight or for at least one hour.
- When ready to bake the pudding, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove pan and weights from top of pudding and punch the foil with holes. Place baking dish in a larger pan of hot water (a bain-marie); the water should be two-thirds of the way up the sides. Bake for an hour and 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the pudding comes out clean. Sprinkle pudding with confectioners' sugar.
- While the pudding is cooking, make the sauce. Beat the sugar with the egg yolks until everything is thoroughly mixed. Bring the cream and the milk to boil in a small saucepan with the vanilla extract.
- Whisk in one-half cup of hot cream mixture into the eggs, then pour the egg and cream mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream. Whisk over low heat until mixture thickens enough to coat the spoon. Be careful not to let it boil, or it will curdle.
- Remove from heat, add bourbon and cool. Chill until ready to use.
- Cut pudding into slices and serve warm on a pool of the chilled sauce.
