Categories: pudding- custard- mousse- flan

Ingredients

  • 2 cups peeled and seeded (about 1 lb.) or 1 (16 oz.) can tomato pieces in juice
  • 3 slices country-style bread, cut in 1/2 inch cubes (3 cups)
  • 1 cup golden brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the tomatoes in small pieces, reserving all juice. Toast the bread cubes lightly. (Day-old bread is fine). Set aside. Place brown sugar, water and salt in a medium saucepan over a low heat. Cook until the sugar and water have combined, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bread cubes, butter and lemon juice. Cook, stirring very gently until the butter has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the tomato mixture into a casserole or baking dish. Bake until bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve piping hot.
