Marmalade Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut into 1/2-inch slices. 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 10 to 15 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.
• In the bottom of a baking dish, place a layer of bread slices. Pour half the custard over the slices and let soak 15 minutes. Meanwhile lay the other half of the slices in another pan. Pour the remaining custard over the bread to soak it. Spread the marmalade over the soaked bread in the baking dish then cover it with the other soaked bread slices.
• Arrange the pudding in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 30 to 35 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and broil until sugar is slightly caramelized. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Butter each piece of bread on both sides, then spread 4 with the 1 tbsp marmalade each. Pop the remaining bread on top to make 4 marmalade sandwiches. Cut into triangles and nestle in rows in a large baking dish. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
• Beat the milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, sugar and whisky together, then pour over the bread. Leave to soak for 30 mins.
• Dot the remaining marmalade all over the top of the pud and dust with the icing sugar. Bake for 45 mins-1 hr or until puffy and starting to caramelise where the bread breaks out of the custard. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Grease the base and sides of a 1.4 litre pudding basin, then line base with greaseproof paper. Spoon the marmalade into the base.
• Discard any pips, put orange in a food processor, then process until finely chopped. Place in a bowl, set aside.
• Put butter, sugar, eggs, flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger in the food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Mix in the chopped orange.
• Spoon mixture into the prepared basin. Cover with a double thickness of greaseproof paper, securing with string. Tightly cover with foil. Put in a steamer over a pan of boiling water or rest on an upturned plate in a large pan, then pour boiling water around the basin to half fill the pan. Cover and steam for 2 hrs, topping up with water when necessary.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small pan, add the marmalade, hazelnuts and syrup, then gently heat through for 2 mins.
• remove the foil and paper and turn the pudding onto a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over the pudding and serve hot with clotted cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Using a pastry brush, coat the bottom and sides of a loaf pan with 1 tbsp of the softened butter. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a small bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the remaining 4 tbsp of butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the flour mixture, orange peel, vanilla, milk and water and stir until the batter is smooth.
• Stirring constantly, melt the marmalade over low heat in a small pan; then pour it into the loaf pan. Pour in the batter, and bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool the pudding in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the outside edge of the pan and invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm.
