Cranberry Bread Pudding

Posted in Recipes by sophie

This is a recipe you’ll want to have on hand those days you’ve whipped up some cranberry sauce and aren’t sure what to do with the leftovers. This is also ideal for the holiday season, because even though it is a bread pudding recipe, you can easily use the leftover buns to prepare this tasty dessert.

Yep, day old bread or buns are what you’ll want to use in any bread pudding recipe. Why is that? Well, if the bread is too moist (which is usually the case when it’s fresh), the pudding can come out on the soggy side. For example, Fiona, the blogger behind The Crazy Englishwoman Cooks!, toasts and cubes the bread she uses in her Cranberry Bread Pudding.

There are a few different ways to make the perfect bread pudding. I tend to prefer custardy puddings, which is why I like Fiona’s. She uses 5 eggs to make her bread pudding extra tasty, and I can’t imagine better spices to complement the tart cranberries than cinnamon and nutmeg. So just how delicious is it? This recipe has stood the test of time; Fiona’s been making it the same way for 7 years!
