This is the easiest recipe ever! I use Julia Child’s basic baked custard recipe but do it with a twist to make a fantastic bread pudding we experienced at the Four Seasons in San Francisco years ago.

“It sounds terrible but tastes terrific,” Stamberg says of the bright pink dish. Every year since 1971, NPR’s Susan Stamberg has managed to sneak on the air her mother-in-law’s recipe for cranberry relish. She’s sprinkled it into dialogue from movies, tricked celebrities into reading it and even had it put to music.
