Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 large eggs
1 cup 2% milk

Rhubarb:
1 cup seedless raspberry preserves
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup chopped crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel

OUTSTANDING RHUBARB BREAD PUDDING



Outstanding Rhubarb Bread Pudding image

I don't like rhubarb. But oh, how I have tried to like it. I have a patch of it growing in my yard and I wanted to find a way to use it. I've tried it in cakes, pies, cobblers, crisps, etc. This recipe was rhubarb's last stand. If I didn't like this I was giving up on rhubarb for good. And oh, boy! It is amazing. I can't wait for my rhubarb patch to ripen up this spring so I can make it again.

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups brioche bread cubes (1/2-inch cubes)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups half-and-half
6 slices lemon zest, removed with a vegetable peeler
2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
6 large eggs
salt, a pinch
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or paste)
1/2 cup thinly sliced dried apricot (preferably Del Monte Pacific-style)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 350°.
  • Butter an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
  • Place the bread on a large baking sheet; drizzle with the butter.
  • Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and toss to coat.
  • Spread the bread in a single layer and bake, stirring halfway through, for 15 minutes or until a deep golden brown.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, bring the half-and-half just to a boil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat.

  • Slowly pour in the warm half-and-half, whisking constantly.
  • Return mixture to the saucepan and cook, whisking constantly, over med-low heat for 5-7 minutes, until the custard has thickened and coats the back of a spoon; if you draw your finger across it, it should leave a track.
  • Do not let the custard boil or scorch on the bottom; if tiny bubbles appear around the edges, remove the pan from the heat for a few minutes to cool the custard, continuing to whisk.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine strainer set over a large glass measure or bowl.
  • Transfer the bread to the baking dish and toss with the apricots.

  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • Carefully remove the foil and bake the bread pudding for 15 minutes longer, or until the top is golden brown but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  • Carefully remove the baking dish from the pan and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brioche bread that is at least one day old.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Be sure to use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor. If you are using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to stir it every 30 seconds to prevent it from burning.
  • To make sure the bread pudding is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread pudding is done.
