How to Make Cranberry And Raisin Bread Pudding With Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Pour in just enough boiling water to cover; let stand for 5 minutes to plump, then drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, tear 4 cups stale raisin bread into 1-inch pieces.
  4. Add the drained cranberries, raisins, and nuts to the bread.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups milk (whole milk recommended), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients over the bread mixture and gently stir until the bread is evenly moistened. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  7. Lightly grease an 8x12 inch baking dish. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared dish.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely before cutting into servings.
  10. **Caramel Sauce:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth and caramelized. (Alternatively, make this on the stovetop using a saucepan over medium heat).
  11. Serve warm bread pudding topped generously with the caramel sauce.
