Bread Pudding

Submitted by CountryLady

"This is an adaptation of my mother's recipe, I figured that if rum & raisin ice cream is good, why not bread pudding? Of course, you could use brandy or cognac or plain old water for soaking the raisins! Top the pudding with recipe #56294 Custard Sauce or recipe #56293 Rum Sauce or vanilla ice cream."

I used wheat bread, which was no problem. The nutmeg is a nice touch. Really easy, really fast!

I made this very tasty bread pudding using raisin bread with raisin in the bread, but also added the 1/2 cup raisins with the rum & made recipe as stated. Then made a rum sauce to top the pudding with this was enjoyed by all. Thank you Country Lady for sharing this yummy recipe.
