BLUEBERRY PECAN BREAD PUDDING WITH AMARETTO SAUCE
I won 2nd place in the Blueberry Cooking Contest with this recipe. It is always a hit. I just take bread that is about to need to be chucked and put it in a zip lock bag and freeze it until I have enough to make a pudding. I've thrown in donuts, biscuits, sliced bread, italian bread -it really doesn't matter as it turns out great every time

BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH CUSTARD SAUCE
Blueberries are so yummy, especially in this dessert! Cook time includes time for makeing sauce. The sweet dessert known as Bread pudding (not be confused with bread and butter pudding) is rather more popular in the UK than in the US, but it is hardly unknown in America, especially in the south. Bread Pudding has been around a long time. It's been around in England since the 13th century. It has its origins as a source of food for the poorer elements of society, and was in fact called "Poor Man's Pudding".

BLUEBERRY PUDDING WITH HARD SAUCE
This is a recipe from my mother, who got it from her mother. To me it's more like a cake than a pudding, but hey, who am I to question my mother. It was and still is a summertime favorite when blueberries are in season. The original recipe called for Huckleberries. We could not always or rarely find them, so mother used the blueberries. When I was young, I would eat this for breakfast. The hard sauce sounds a little unusual with the vinegar, give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised. I have given the exact recipe that was in my mother's manuscript cookbook. However I use up to 2 quarts of blueberries and closer to 1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. The original hard sauce recipe called for a good lump of butter, I calculated that to 2 tablespoons.
