CRANBERRY & PECAN BRIOCHE PUDDING WITH CREME ANGLAISE

I don't do desserts. Maybe once every few years. This one came about because we had some friends to dinner and I just got the urge to serve something sweet at the end of the meal. I bought a brioche from the French baker at the markets. The pecans come from Tweed River Pecans over the hill. For the creme I used a vanilla pod that I also bought at the markets - from a woman with a farm in New Guinea. Even in the outdoor space of the market, the seductive aroma of the vanilla was discernible metres away from the stall.
