Ingredients

Rhubarb and raspberry jam

Method

1.To make rhubarb and raspberry jam, place ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until thick. Cool.
2.Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 2-litre (8-cup) baking dish measuring 24cm x 34cm x 5cm.
3.Place cream, milk and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer; stand 15 minutes. Discard vanilla bean.
4.Meanwhile, spread bread slices with softened butter, flattening the bread slightly (this will help it stay rolled when filled). Spread slices with tablespoons of jam. Roll slices up like a swiss roll to enclose filling; cut in half crossways. Arrange bread spirals, cut-side up, in dish.
5.In a large bowl, whisk eggs and caster sugar until combined. Whisk in cream mixture. Pour custard mixture over bread and stand 15 minutes.
6.Brush tops of bread spirals with melted butter; sprinkle with demerara sugar.
7.Bake pudding for 40 minutes or until custard is just set; stand 10 minutes before serving, dusted with icing sugar.
