Jamallah's Notes:

Probably the best bread pudding I've ever made and had!

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350. Tear bread into small pieces; place in large bowl. Add milk to bowl; let mixture stand 10 minutes. Stir mixture well with a wooden spoon. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla; stir well. Stir in raisins, apple, and pineapple. Pour butter into a 9x13 inch pan;tilt pan to coat evenly. Spoon pudding mixture into pan. Bake uncovered for 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
2
For whiskey sauce: In a heavy saucepan, combine butter and sugar; cook over medium heat until butter melts. Add 1/2 of bourbon and simmer for 3 minutes; stirring well. Reduce heat to medium-low.
3
Beat egg until thick and pale. Gradually stir about 1/4 of hot mixture into egg mixture; add to remaining hot mixture; stirring constantly. Cook 2 additional minutes. Stir in remaining bourbon.

This sounds wonderful and I can't wait to try it. However, I am confused by the directions in #1. It says to "pour batter into a 9x13 inch pan..." and next it says, "spoon pudding mixture into pan". Are the batter and the pudding the same thing?

it was suppose to say "pour butter into a 9x13 inch pan" so sorry about that Paula, when I get to typing, I go so fast, I forget to look at it over again,lol. But its suppose to say butter and not batter.

Do you set your pan with the pudding in it in a bigger pan with water in it to bake? I have read other recipes that say to do this. Is that necessary? Do you use a metal 9x13 or a glass one and do you think one is better than the other?

Paula, a water bath is never a bad idea. But I am interested in her response because this looks so good! I would use a glass pan.

Oh I always use a glass pan and even though I do agree with Nancy about the water bath, I've never used it with this recipe whatsoever. I honestly don't think it would make any difference if you do it without the bath or with it. But when I've made it, its been without.

Thanks, Jamallah. Nancy, do you know the reason why people use the bath?

Paula Honey, Just to keep it very moist. People do that with breakfast casseroles too. Any custard based recipe like Creme Brulee. It sure can't hurt but I may try it Jamallah's way first. I posted a recipe for Bread Pudding too, but it is not mine but from a famous restaurant in New Orleans.

The water bath is also called "Bain Marie" or "Marie's bath"...I first saw it called for in a recipe for a crustless cheesecake and you cooked the large cheesecake in a pan inside a pan of water. When done cooking, you turned off the oven and allowed the cheesecake to cool overnight in the oven. It was a strange directive but the cheesecake was AMAZING!

Hi Jamallah, wanted to let you know that my mom used to make bread pudding when I was a child and I have never made it before. Well, I was thinking about that and was hungry for it so I used your recipe as it sounded like mom's minus the apples and pineapple. I used Jack Daniels in the whiskey sauce since I am now from Tn. My husband's response with the first taste was "Oh, WOW !" That is a great testimonial, so thanks and it tasted just like my moms used to !!

I am so glad that you came across my recipe and it brought back good memories of your mom's. Yeah my grandma made bread pudding similar to this and it always turned out so good. Again I am happy that I made your day with this recipe.
