Recipe Introduction

It had raspberries in it, and a luscious "Whiskey River Sauce" (I leave out the whiskey, of course, but it's STILL wonderful)! "The desserts are divine at Hubbell House in Mantorville, Minnesota....The sweet sauce of this cream pudding tames the dessert's tart raspberry jam." -Midwest Living

List of Ingredients

4 cups dried home-style bread or French bread cubes

2 eggs

1 1/3 cups milk

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 tablespoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Whiskey River Sauce (whiskey optional ) - Recipe Below

1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves



Recipe

1. Lightly grease two 8x4x2-inch loaf pans. Place 2 cups of bread
cubes in each loaf pan and set pans aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, use a rotary beater to beat together
the eggs, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour half of the

egg mixture over each pan of bread. Let the mixture stand for 15
minutes before baking.

3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or till a knife
inserted off centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack for

10 minutes.

4. While bread pudding bakes, prepare Whiskey River Sauce. (Recipe
Below)

5. Remove 1 of the bread puddings from loaf pan. Place
bread-pudding loaf onto a cutting board. Spread jam evenly over the top
of

the bread-pudding loaf. Top with the remaining bread-pudding loaf.
Cut into 6 slices. Place 1 slice on each serving plate. Serve

bread pudding with Whiskey River Sauce.

WHISKEY RIVER SAUCE (Whiskey optional):

In a medium saucepan, stir together one 14-ounce can sweetened
condensed milk (1 1/4 cups), 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and

1/4 to 1/2 cup whiskey or 1/2 cup orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter,
cut up. Cook and stir the mixture over medium heat till butter

melts. Don't boil. Use about half of the sauce for the bread
pudding. Cover and chill remainng sauce. Reheat the sauce and serve

over pound cake or angel food cake, if you like. Makes about 2
cups.
