RICE PUDDING WITH ALMONDS AND CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine milk, 5 tablespoons sugar and rice in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until rice is tender and mixture is thick, stirring frequently, about 35 minutes. Discard vanilla bean. Mix in almonds. Pour rice pudding into 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan; cool completely.
• Using electric mixer, beat cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until medium peaks form. Fold cream into rice pudding mixture in pan. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Cook cherries, lemon and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until cherries are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Discard lemon. Spoon pudding into bowls. Spoon hot cherry sauce over.

CHERRY BAKEWELL SPONGE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the syrup from the cherries and the jam into a saucepan. Boil for 10-15 mins until the liquid has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy, and add the cherries to the pan. Pour into a baking dish, roughly 18 x 25cm, then set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, almonds, almond extract and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk until combined. Dollop the sponge mixture over the cherries and spread to a smooth layer, trying not to disturb the cherries underneath too much. Scatter over the flaked almonds, then bake for 45 mins until a skewer inserted into the sponge layer comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or, better yet, custard.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
• Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
• Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHERRY ALMOND BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat eggs with milk, sugar, and all seasonings.
• Pour mixture over bread cubes; stir.
• Soften dried cherries in 1 cup boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain well and add to bread mixture. Toss well, and let "sit" for a few minutes; overnight is even better.
• Pour into well-buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole baking dish.
• Toss sliced almonds with a bit of melted butter and the sugar, and sprinkle over pudding.
• Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes, or until nice and puffy.
• Make whiskey sauce (many good recipes available here!) and spoon over the warm pudding!

CHERRY & ALMOND SPONGE WITH PISTACHIO CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan. When hot, add the cherries, lemon juice, orange zest and sugar. Allow the cherries to cook and release their juices for 4-5 mins until they are tender and the juices are syrupy.
• Transfer the cherries to the base of a 20-22cm diameter ceramic pie dish. At this point, you can chill the dish until half an hour before you want to eat, then finish it.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the topping, put the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and foamy - an electric whisk is best for this. Add the extract and orange flower water as you whisk.
• When the mixture is very light and airy, whisk in the cream. Finally, sieve in the flour and a pinch of salt. Carefully fold them into the egg mixture with a large metal spoon until there are no lumps.
• Pour the sponge mixture over the cherries and use the back of a spoon to cover evenly. Bake for 20 mins until well risen and evenly browned.
• While the sponge is baking, stir the chopped pistachios into the crème fraîche and spoon into a serving dish. When the sponge is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 mins before dusting with icing sugar and serving with the pistachio crème fraîche.
