Bread Pudding With Jack Daniel’s Sauce

Bread Pudding With Jack Daniel’s Sauce

Pudding
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup raisins (I leave them out, since I don't like raisins)
6 cups cubed French bread

In large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in raisins and bread. Let soak for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pack mixture lightly into loaf pan. Place loaf pan in larger pan of hot water to prevent burning. Bake 1¼ hours or until lightly brown and set.

Jack Daniel’s Sauce
1/4 lb. butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup 10% cream
1 egg
6 tbsp. Jack Daniel’s Bourbon

Mix butter, sugar and cream in top of double boiler. Cook over simmering water until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot. Whisk in egg and continue cooking until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in Bourbon.
To serve, slice pudding, pour sauce over it and garnish with berries in season.
