How to Make Pear Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup rum over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup raisins and let soak for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and sliced, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the pears and cook for 2 more minutes until slightly softened. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, tear 6 slices of day-old bread into bite-sized pieces.
- In a separate saucepan, scald 2 cups whole milk (bring just to a simmer).
- Pour the hot milk over the bread and let soak for 5 minutes until the bread is softened but not mushy.
- Stir in the raisin mixture and the cooked pears with their syrup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the bread mixture until just combined.
- Pour the bread pudding mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
