MAPLE-PUMPKIN BREAD PUDDING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the pumpkin into quarters, place it on a baking sheet, and roast for about 1 hour or until the pumpkin is fork-tender. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and let cool (this can be done a day or two ahead). When the pumpkin is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and guts, and purée the flesh in a food processor. If you're using canned pumpkin, skip this step.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the puréed pumpkin, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla, and mix well to combine.
- Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish well. Toss the bread, walnuts, and cranberries together in the baking dish. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Put the dish in the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the custard is set.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure to drain it well before using it.
- Use a good quality bread. The type of bread you use will affect the texture of your bread pudding. For a light and fluffy bread pudding, use a soft, white bread. For a more dense and chewy bread pudding, use a heartier bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the bread pudding until it is set. The bread pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the bread 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, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving.
