This winter dish, a favorite of our Brighton Gardens of Dunwoody community, is an original recipe created by our chef and featuring cranberries, a well-known “superfood.”

Among their health benefits, cranberries are known for helping prevent urinary tract infections (UTI). Also considered low calorie - half a cup contains only 25 calories – cranberries are also show to prevent certain types of cancer, improved immune function, decreased blood pressure and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cranberry Bread Pudding
Serves 8

Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

½ bag fresh cranberries
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup orange juice
½ orange, zest only
1 cinnamon stick

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to thicken.
Remove from the heat and cool completely. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.

Bread Mixture

Ingredients:

1 baguette, diced
2 cups heavy cream
5 large eggs
½ cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Triple Sec

Instructions:

Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla and Triple Sec. Whisk until well combined.
Whisk in the cream.
Place the bread in a bowl. Cover with the egg mixture, toss to combine, and let stand for 30 minutes.
Pour the bread and cream mixture into a greased baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cranberry sauce evenly over the bread mixture. Cover pans tightly with parchment and foil.
Fill a second slightly larger pan halfway with water. Place the pan with the bread inside the larger pan to create a water bath.
Bake at 300°F for 1 hour, until center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
May be served warm or chilled.
