This is a dessert sure to disappear off your table. I own a catering company and this is by far the most requested dessert on my menu. I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as my family and customers do!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Need an impressive yet easy holiday dessert? Try this bread pudding recipe. It's one of the best we've ever had. The texture is firm without being dry. Adding raisins and pecans gives the pudding texture and adds flavor. The cinnamon and nutmeg are subtle, leaving the focus on the warm buttery bourbon sauce. This dessert is so good you're going to find excuses to make it again.
