On this new series, acclaimed author and sight loss coach Donna Jodhan gives you her tips and tricks for creating delicious meals in the kitchen. Included with the episode are the recipes below.
English Bread Pudding
16 slices day-old, firm-textured white bread (1 small loaf)
1¾ cups milk
1 package (8 ounces) mixed dried fruit, cut into small pieces
½ cup chopped nuts
1 medium apple, chopped
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
½ stick butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Cooking Directions:
Tear bread, with crusts, into 1 to 2 inch pieces, placing in Crock-Pot.
Pour milk over bread; let soak 30 minutes. Stir in dried fruit, nuts and apple.
Combine remaining ingredients in small bowl;
pour over bread mixture.
Stir well to blend.
Cover, cooking on low 3½ to 4 hours, or until toothpick inserted into center of pudding comes out clean.
Note:
To make chopping of dried fruits easier, cut fruit with kitchen scissors or chef's knife sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Helpful Hints and Tips:
No Eggs?
* If you omit an egg in a recipe, increase the liquid by 3 or 4 tablespoons for each egg omitted. It's risky, however, in delicately balanced cake or cookie recipes, or in recipes using lots of eggs.
No Fresh Herbs Or Spices?
* Substitute dried herbs or spices. Dried are more concentrated. The ratio is about 1 to 3, so in recipes calling for 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped herbs, use 1 tablespoon of dried.
