BREAD PUDDING WITH SAUCE

Bread Pudding with Sauce image

This warm pudding is a traditional winter favorite, and for a good reason. The rich, cinnamony flavor is perfect for the holidays, and the decadent, buttery sauce is such an amazing complement. You can use actual rum instead of extract, just for grown-ups. -Peggy Goodrich, Enid, Oklahoma
