Most people have heard of Apple Brown Betty but this is a version for when you'd like something a bit different and/or you don't have any apples about. From what I understand, a jam version is also as quite traditional as apple, made during lean times. When we've made this we used various kinds of jams or jellies, or sometimes a mixture! It's a good way to use up those almost-empty jars in the fridge to make way for fresh ones. :) You can make this with leftover flavored breads, too, such as zucchini or gingerbread - yum! Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, divided,melted |
3 cups bread, cut in small cubes |
1 1/2 cups fruit preserves or 1 1/2 cups jam or 1 1/2 cups jelly |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup sherry wine |
1/2 cup desiccated coconut |
1/4 cup chopped nuts or 1/4 cup pecans or 1/4 cup walnuts |
Directions:
1. Mix the bread cubes and 2 Tbsp melted butter. 2. Melt together the preserves, water, and sherry in a saucepan over medium heat. 3. In a bowl, toss together the bread cubes, jam mixture, and coconut then spread it into the bottom of a buttered 8 x8 baking pan. 4. Combine the chopped nuts and remaining 2 Tbsp butter and stir until coated, then sprinkle on top of ingredients in baking pan. 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. 6. Serve warm with whipped cream on top. 7. Makes about 4 servings. |
