The Olive Bin

Pumpkin Pear Cranberry Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a sauce pan over medium heat, cook Vermont Balsamic Vinegar with the brown sugar, once sugar is completely dissolved remove from heat and set aside – let cool. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Butter Olive Oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nut meg, pumpkin puree and the vinegar and brown sugar mixture. Place bread cubes in layers in a greased baking pan (use some of the Butter Infused Oil). Pour some of the sauce you created in your mixing bowl over the bread. Add a layer of pears and cranberries then repeat with adding cubes and pour sauce onto the next bread layer. On final layer add walnuts/pecans if desired. Cover with foil and bake. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature – optional – top with some vanilla ice cream
