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.
