Bread Pudding in Pumpkins 2 medium pie pumpkins (about 3 pounds each) 4 eggs, lightly beaten 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 cups cubed crustless day-old bread 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup raisins
Wash pumpkins; cut off tops and discard. Scoop out seeds and loose fibers (save seeds for another use if desired). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Stir in the bread cubes, pineapple, walnuts and raisins. Spoon into pumpkin shells. Place on a greased 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pan. Loosely cover tops with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/4 hours. Uncover; bake 15-30 minutes longer or until pumpkin is soft and a knife inserted near the center of bread pudding comes out clean. To serve, scoop bread pudding and cooked pumpkin into dessert dishes. Yield: 6-8 servings. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
