@wismiss Sounds delish and decadent. I think I'd substitute 1/4 C of cream in sauce for Amaretto. Otherwise sounds perfect. Thanks.

@Kachina624 Would you add your Amaretto while the sauce is cooking or stir it in at the end? I'm thinking of adding Pecan liquor.

My Mom made a great bread pudding w/raisin bread and coffee. I also think she used coffee cream instead of milk. I know she got the recipe from Good Housekeeping ,but it has been lost. I'm sure I could make it today just by thinking about it,but DH hates bread pudding and it has too much sugar in it for me.

I make a praline sauce (also good over waffles and french vanilla ice cream):

2 cups butter, cubed

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

3 lbs light brown sugar

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 1/2 cups sour cream

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt 1 cup butter cubes in big saucepan. Mix in pecans. Boil until pecans darken. Mix in other cup of butter. Take off heat.

In another big saucepan mix brown sugar, cream, and cinnamon. Stir over low heat until blended. Cook over medium heat until reaching 230 degrees on candy thermometer. Stir in pecan mixture. Mix in sour cream and vanilla and remove from heat.

Maybe if you add a shot of bourbon?

I'm trying this BP recipe. I've never found one that turned out well yet. All I need to get is heavy cream. Its been years since I've tried it, but maybe now I can reason out what the problems were. It like banana bread, mine is always lousy no matter whose recipe I use. So I switched to Atonella's banana cake and voila ! Perfect every time.

@depglass: Just to assure you, I did make this recipe before posting it and it is good. I used Sun-Maid raisin bread and I cut it into cubes. I cut about six pieces out of a slice of bread. I cut it in thirds top to bottom and then halved those pieces. I also let it sit out to dry in the bowl for a little while (about two hours) before I made the recipe, as the bread was very fresh. After baking it 50 minutes, I tested for doneness by inserting a knife in the middle and when it came out clean I took it out of the oven. I had to bake mine about another 5 minutes, but that will probably depend upon the size of eggs and the freshness of the bread and even the humidity in the air.

Please let us know how it turns out. Here's good luck to you!!!
