JAM BREAD PUDDING
Steps:
- Remove the crust from the loaf of bread and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Reserve 5 slices for the top. Cut the remaining bread into cubes.
- In a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large bowl to smooth the mixture and remove the vanilla bean. Take 1/4 of the custard, pour it into a pan with walls, and soak the slices as if for French toast. Pour the remaining custard over the cubes and let soak 30 minutes, gently turning the bread over once. Fill a 2-quart flameproof souffle dish halfway with soaked bread cubes. Spoon a layer of marmalade or jam onto the soaked cubes, then top off with more bread cubes. Spoon another layer of marmalade or jam over the cubes and top with the soaked slices, overlapping them decoratively. If there is any remaining custard, pour it onto the slices to let it soak in. Let soak in the refrigerator another 30 minutes (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baking dish in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and place under the broiler 1 to 2 minutes caramelize slightly. Serve warm or chilled.

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes longer or until the pudding is set. Remove from the oven.
- Preheat the broiler. In a bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk with the confectioners' sugar. Stir in the remaining melted butter and jam until the mixture is smooth.

YASMEEN'S JAM SANDWICH BREAD PUDDING
I had this lovely flatmate by the name of Yasmeen when I stayed in the beautiful city of Cape Town. We had lots of good times together and she taught me how to make this easy bread pudding. You can adjust it to your taste by adding raisins or nuts or like my version go the whole hog and add chunks of wholenut chocolate. The secret ingredient is nutmeg that really makes this dessert so wicked!

Bread pudding - the English variety, not to be confused with 'bread and butter pudding' - this is more like a spiced cake than a dessert.

Tips:
- Choose a variety of jams and preserves: Using different flavors of jams and preserves adds depth and complexity to the bread pudding. Consider using a combination of sweet and tart jams, such as strawberry and lemon curd, or apricot and raspberry.
- Use high-quality bread: The bread is the foundation of the pudding, so using a good-quality loaf is important. Look for bread that is slightly stale, as this will absorb the custard better.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pudding until it is set: The pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Jam and bread pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
