Bread Pudding
Kentucky Bourbon Sauce
Method
Bread Pudding
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture over the torn bread pieces. Add the chopped walnuts, raisins, diced apples, and diced pears. Gently fold everything together until the bread is fully coated and the fruits and nuts are evenly distributed.
Bake the Pudding
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the middle.
Kentucky Bourbon Sauce
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
Add Bourbon and Cream
Carefully add the Kentucky bourbon to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off. Then, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving over warm bread pudding.
