Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce

Ingredients:
Sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup raisins
6 cups cubed French bread
Berries in season, for garnish

Whiskey Sauce:
1/4 pound butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light (10%) cream
1 egg
6 tablespoons whiskey

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in the raisins and bread. Let soak 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Pack the mixture lightly into a loaf pan. Place the loaf pan in a larger pan of hot water to prevent burning. Bake 1 1/4 hours or until lightly browned and set.
3. For the sauce: Mix the butter, sugar and cream in the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot.
4. Whisk in the egg and continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the whiskey.
5. To serve, slice the pudding, pour the sauce over it and garnish with berries in season.
