Pumpkin Bread Pudding
w/Ginger Sauce


Bread Pudding Ingredients
1-pound loaf unsliced bread (preferably sweet)
2 cups (1 Pint) half-and-half
6 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark seedless raisins

Ginger Sauce Ingredients
1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
Preparation Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x5 by 3 inch loaf pan. Trim and discard all crusts from bread; cut remaining bread into 1 1/2 inch cubes. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat together half-and-half, eggs, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Add cubed bread and raisins to egg mixture. Let stand until bread absorbs most of the liquid-about 5 minutes. Transfer bread mixture to prepared pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until firm to the touch.

Prepare Ginger Sauce: In small saucepan, combine 1 cup half-and-half and one teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root; heat to boiling. In medium-size bowl, beat together 3 large egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar. Slowly beat half-and-half mixture into egg mixture. Pour all contents back into saucepan and soak, stirring consistently, over low heat until sauce thickens slightly and coats a spoon. DO NOT BOIL. Chill to thicken. Just before serving, strain to remove ginger root pieces.

Yield: 6-8 servings
