Peach Amaretto Bread Pudding Recipes

PEACH AMARETTO BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Bread Pudding:.
• Combine the bread and the half-and-half in a large bowl. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
• Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with 1 tbsp butter; set aside.
• Combine the eggs, sugar, and almond extract; stir well. Add the egg mixture to the chilled bread mixture, stirring gently. Gently fold in peaches and almonds.
• Pour into the prepared dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until set and lightly browned. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Serve with amaretto sauce.
• Amaretto Sauce:.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a small saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
• Gradually stir about 1/4 of the hot mixture into the egg; add to the remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and stir in the amaretto. Let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING WITH AMARETTO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
• To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

MY PEACH BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix peaches, flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, rum, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 pinch nutmeg together in a baking dish.

• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
• Stir milk and heavy cream together in a saucepan over medium heat; heat until just warmed and a film forms over top of mixture, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Cool mixture to lukewarm.
• Combine 1 cup white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined, 1 minute. Slowly pour milk mixture into sugar mixture; stir to combine. Add bread cubes; stir gently. Fold in cooked peaches.

• Mix quickly so that the egg doesn't cook before it is incorporated.
• Cook until smooth and incorporated.
• Add almond liqueur.
• Cut pudding into 12 squares and serve warm with warmed sauce and whipping cream.
• NOTE: I found it easier to mix all liquids and sugar together first, then add bread.

PEACH JAM WITH AMARETTO LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Inspect 5 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Mix peaches with lemon juice in a large pot immediately after chopping to prevent peaches from turning brown. Place pot over medium heat.
• Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with pectin and add it to the pot with the peaches. Stir well. Slowly bring to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Add the remaining sugar and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, to fully dissolve the sugar. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
• Ladle peach jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
