Categories     Healthy Fruit Recipes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ripe pears, preferably Bosc, with stems, washed and dried
2 cups Riesling or other fruity white wine
¼ cup honey
4 cinnamon sticks
4 bay leaves
4 strips orange zest, (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each pear, so they will stand upright. Arrange the pears in a 9- to 10-inch pie pan or similar baking dish. Whisk wine and honey in a medium bowl until well blended; pour over the pears. Add cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and orange zest to the wine mixture around the pears.
  • Roast the pears, basting every 15 minutes, until they are wrinkled and tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of pear used.

Drizzle over the pears and garnish with the cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and orange zest. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.

3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 large egg yolks
3 1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped

  • Add the cubed apples, pecans and cubed bread to the prepared baking dish and toss to combine. Pour the custard over the bread and apple pieces.

Remove from the heat and slowly add the baking soda (it will foam up), followed by the vanilla and cinnamon. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup pear brandy
½ teaspoon salt

Cover the pan with parchment paper then seal with aluminum foil. Place another baking pan on top or two dinner plates to keep it from puffing while it bakes.

PEAR BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



Pear Bread Pudding With Caramel Sauce image

This is the only bread pudding I have ever made but it is extremely tasty! I love the comice pears but if you cannot find any at your local grocery store you can substitute with 3 Bosc pears since they are smaller. And if you can get your hands on Wolfermans English Muffins by all means get them. it only takes one 4 pack to make this recipe because they are so much bigger than regular english muffins.

RUSTIC BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



Rustic Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce image

Bread pudding is such a treat. Every time I see it on a dessert menu, I order it, and I wonder why I do not make it more often myself. Finally, I decided it was time to develop a recipe for bread pudding that works with the crusty artisan bread I make, as well as a recipe for homemade caramel sauce that tempts people to lick their plates. Enjoy!

Categories     Recipes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 23

Bread Pudding
800 grams or 10+ cups of cubed/torn crusty bread
4 cups of milk
6 eggs
1 cup sugar
5 Tbsp of unsalted butter melted
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Optional
1/2 cup of raisins
1 apple peeled and thinly sliced
ground ginger, cardamom or clove
Caramel Sauce
11 Tbsp butter (1 stick plus 3 Tbsp)
1 1/2 cups of brown sugar (dark or light both work fine)
4-6 ounces of evaporated milk
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Optional
1-2 Tbsp bourbon or whisky

Steps:

  • Bread Pudding
  • Grease a rectangular glass baking dish. (I used a narrow and deep 3 qt baker. A wider and shallower baker may require you to drop the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.)
  • Spread the bread pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
  • Melt the 5 Tbsp of butter and set aside. (I use the microwave on a low power setting to avoid washing a saucepan.)
  • In a 2-3 quart bowl, ideally with a pour spout, mix the eggs and sugar, then add in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Finally mix in the melted butter.
  • Gently pour the contents of the bowl over the bread. Use a wide spatula to press the bread downward to soak up more of the liquid.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, removing from the fridge at least once, partway through, in order to mix the bread, mash it down and break it up a little more.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and remove the baking dish from the fridge. Mix, mash and break up the bread one last time before placing it in the preheated oven to bake.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, covering with foil for the final 15 minutes if the bread pudding seems to be getting too toasted.
  • Let it cool at least 20 minutes before serving with the caramel sauce below, ice cream, or whipped cream.
  • Caramel Sauce
  • In a small saucepan, boil the butter, brown sugar, water, and salt for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, and add the vanilla extract and 4-6 oz of evaporated milk until you reach slightly less than the thickness you prefer. (The caramel sauce will thicken a bit more as it cools.) I used 6 ounces of evaporated milk. If I were adding bourbon, I would use less evaporated milk.
  • Pour or funnel the sauce into a jar. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Extra sauce can be frozen in a plastic container.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the bread pudding mixture.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the butter and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.
  • To make the caramel sauce ahead of time, let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To reheat the caramel sauce, place it in a saucepan over low heat and stir until warmed through.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of the caramel sauce on top.

Conclusion:

This spiced pear bread pudding with caramel sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The bread pudding is moist and flavorful, with a delicate pear flavor. The caramel sauce is rich and decadent, and it perfectly complements the bread pudding. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
