TRIPLE GINGER PEAR BREAD PUDDING

 

Cooking for Two
by Shady Oak Press
Three forms of ginger (grated fresh, ground and crystallized) give surprising pizzazz to the mellow custard and sweet fruit flavor of this pudding. You can vary the quantity of each type of ginger to suit your own taste, or kick it up a notch if you wish. Peaches, nectarines or apricots can be substituted for the pears.
12 servings
