New Orleans Recipe for Bread Pudding with Cherries
zah asked: There was a recipe for bread pudding in a weekly paper/magazine called the Grit. It was probably 30 years or so ago, and it had cherries in it for Washington's Birthday. It may have been called Sensational Bread Pudding. My family really liked this recipe, but my father lost it when he remodeled the kitchen. Does anyone have it?The Grit had a lot of great recipes…

Episode: Presidents' Day
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, in all
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup light brown sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dried cherries
6 cups day-old bread cubes (1/2-inch)
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup Spiced Creme Anglaise (homemade or storebought)
3 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream
Powdered sugar in small shaker
Fresh mint sprigs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a baking dish (10 x 14 inches) with 2 tablespoons of butter. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, cream, and milk. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, dried cherries, bread, and chocolate and stir to blend thoroughly. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the mixture and pour into the baking dish. Bake until firm, for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on rack until just warm. Place the square of the pudding down on the plate. Spoon the anglaise over top. Add a dollop of cream, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
