Raspberry Orange Bread Pudding

By Mark -

We had a stale French bread baguette, so I made bread pudding.  I found a recipe that looked good at https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooker-raspberry-orange-bread-pudding/, but there were some problems.  First, I didn't have all the ingredients.  Second, I had the wrong size pan.  Third, I wanted to pair it with a different sauce.  (I guess that third problem wasn't technically a problem.)  So, I made a bunch of changes to the recipe and came up with this version:

Pudding Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/3 teaspoons orange extract
zest of 1 orange
2/3 cup orange juice
12 ounce can evaporated milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
10 cups cubed stale bread (1-2 inch cubes)
1/3 cup dried cranberries or strawberries
1 1/3 cup frozen raspberries

Sauce Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk + 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, orange extract, zest, orange juice, and evaporated milk.  While continuing to whisk, drizzle in the melted butter.

Gently stir in the bread cubes and berries.

Transfer the mixture to a sprayed 8x3 inch round cake pan.

Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of an 8 quart Instant Pot.  Place the cake pan on a trivet with handles, and lower it into the pot.  Lock the lid, turn the pressure release valve to the sealed position, and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 38 minutes.

While the pudding's cooking, make the sauce.  Put the butter, buttermilk, and sugar in a large sauce pan.  Use a much larger pan than needed to fit the ingredients because it will foam up.  Boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat, add vanilla and baking soda, and whisk until the foam disappears.

When the time ends, wait 10 minutes before releasing the pressure.  Check the pudding's temperature.  If it hasn't reached 160 degrees, pressure cook it for a few more minutes.

Scoop onto plates and top with a small amount of sauce.

Lisa's Impossible(TM) Burger Patties

I like Impossible(TM) brand plant-based burger "meat." But working with it isn't exactly the same as working with ground beef. Some differences to be aware of are: 1. It browns a lot faster than beef, so keep a close eye on it. You might also want to use a slightly lower temperature. 2. Since Impossible burger can be consumed raw, all you're really doing is browning it for color and cooking it enough for the burger (or meatball or whatever) to hold its shape. I'm finding that if you don't overcook it, it cooks up to something that's much tenderer and juicier than beef. (Yum!) This is one reason I like making my own Impossible burgers instead of ordering them from, for instance, Burger King. Undertrained cooks often treat the Impossible burger the same as regular hamburger patties, and cook them to death. Then the patties come out tough and charred. Cooking them myself is way better. 3. Impossible burger doesn't shrink as much as beef when it coo...

Spicy Orange

Here's a very quick and easy beverage that I enjoy.  Add a dash of ground chipotle and a couple dashes of smoked paprika to a small glass of orange juice.  Give it a stir and then let is sit for a couple of minutes before drinking it.
