Pumpkin Bread Pudding

The fall season has its own range of ingredients and spices. One of these staples is: pumpkin.

Pumpkin has been stereotyped as something that can only be had in the fall which is a shame. There are so many baked goods with pumpkin that are just delicious!

I was in the grocery store and spotted some pumpkin puree. It’s not always easy to find it year round, so I picked up two tins. It didn’t take me long to find a use for it. In this months food network magazine there was a recipe for pumpkin bread pudding. Sold! I cut down the cream to half of what was called for (replaced by milk) and used challah bread. The result was a classic bread pudding, warm with pumpkin and spices, and given a kick with the ginger. We served it with some praline and cream icing and it was definitely a hit.
