Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemon Sauce
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup light cream
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups day-old white bread cut into approximately 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soft butter
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Make the Pudding:
- Preheat oven to 350F and butter the sides and bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Combine milk and light cream in saucepan; bring just to a boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Combine sugars, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Toss in bread pieces to coat.
- Lightly beat together the eggs and extra yolks and add to the large bowl.
- Add blueberries, apple, the hot creamy milk mixture and vanilla.
- Stir to combine.
- Allow mixture to sit for about five minutes.
- Pour into the prepared pan.
- Choose a shallow pan large enough to hold the baking pan (a small roasting pan is a good choice), and place your filled bread pudding pan into it.
- Pour boiling water into the larger pan so that it comes about halfway up the side of the other.
- Place in oven and bake the bread pudding in this water bath for about an hour, adding water if necessary.
- This procedure keeps the custard-like texture of the pudding from becoming tough.
- Remove from water bath and let bread pudding sit for approximately one-half hour before serving.
- Serve warm with lemon sauce on the side.
- Make the Lemon Sauce:
- Combine sugar, cornstarch and water in a double boiler over boiling water until thickened.
- Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients one at a time.
- Stir and adjust seasoning.
- Serve warm with bread pudding.
