    List of Ingredients




    French Bread Pudding w/ Clear Rum Sauce


    1 C. granulated sugar
    8 T. (1 stick) butter, softened
    5 eggs, beaten
    1 pt. (2 C.) heavy cream
    Dash of cinnamon
    1 T. vanilla extract
    1/4 C. raisins
    12 (1-inch thick) slices fresh or stale French bread

    Clear Rum Sauce

    1 C. granulated sugar
    2 1/4 C. water
    1 cinnamon stick or 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
    1 T. unsalted butter
    1/2 tsp. cornstarch
    1 T. light or dark rum

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    In a large bowl cream together the sugar and butter. Add eggs, cream, cinnamon, vanilla and raisins, mixing well. Pour into a 9 inch square pan 1 3/4 inches deep.

    Arrange bread slices flat in the egg mixture and let stand for 5 minutes to soak up some of the liquid. Turn bread over and let stand for 10 minutes longer. Then push bread down so that most of it is covered by the egg mixture. Do not break the bread.

    Set pan in a larger pan filled with water to 1/2 inch from top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, uncovering pudding for the last 10 minutes to brown the top. When done, the custard should still be soft, not firm.

    To make the sauce: In a medium-size saucepan combine suger, 2 cups water, cinnamon, and butter and bring to a boil. Stir in a cornstarch blended with remaining 1/4 cup water and simmer, stirring until sauce is clear. Remove from head and add rum. Sauce will be thin.

    To serve:

    Spoon the pudding onto dessert plates and pass the sauce separately.
