BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH
GOLDEN DESSERT SAUCE
 
Golden Sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons brandy (may be omitted)

Bread Pudding:

3 tablespoons soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
3 1/2 cups milk
8 cups bread cubes cut to 1" square or smaller (sourdough loaf or any heavy bread)
1 3/4 cups fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

Prepare Golden Dessert Sauce:

In medium pan, combine butter and sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in cream, and if desired, brandy.

Bring to a boil while continuously stirring; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Refrigerate if not using in 2 hours. Reheat when serving.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on med/high speed until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2-3 minutes or until fluffy. Slowly stir in milk.

Place bread cubes in extra large bowl; pour milk mixture over the bread and mix well, soaking all cubes. Let stand 5 minutes.

Gently stir blueberries into bread mixture; transfer to an ungreased 3-quart baking dish. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over mixture.

Drizzle 1/3 cup of Golden Dessert Sauce over top.

Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.

Serve warm with additional Golden sauce spooned over individual servings.

Refrigerate left-overs - reheat in the microwave when serving - enjoy anytime!

My wife made this last night using partridgeberries. We found it very sweet considering that these berries are very tart. Can we reduce the amount of sugar and use a substitute. I want her to make this again but without all the sugar.

This recipe, while missing the cooking temp and potential misuse of "t.", tasted fantastic. Highly requested every summer when we pick fresh blueberries. Great with, or without, the golden sauce.
