French Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce

When we needed dessert for a crowd, Stevens Catering would serve bread pudding. We would put three recipes to a hotel pan, bake it and hold it in a warmer until arriving on site. We kept it warm in a chafing dish and served it with its own sauce. We often served two kinds: French Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce and Very Berry Bread Pudding with Orange Sauce. Both recipes are very light and were a hit every time we served them. Here is the recipe for French Bread Pudding. Enjoy it!

    Very Berry Bread Pudding with Orange Sauce

    Bread pudding has always been so heavy, so I never cared for it. I was eating at a local tea room and was encouraged to order the Very Berry Bread Pudding. It was a delight– light, filled with berries and topped with a wonderful sauce. I had to have the recipe but it was not available. So that was my challenge to develop a recipe myself.

    I started with a French bread pudding and left the spices and raisins out. I then added frozen mixed berries and took a Rum Sauce recipe to make an orange sauce. I left out the Rum and spices and added orange liquor and orange juice concentrate for flavoring. Orange juice could be used but I wanted the intense orange flavor, so I went with the orange juice concentrate. The recipe became a favorite at Stevens Catering events. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
