Blueberry Pecan Bread Pudding With Amaretto Sauce image

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

1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish.

  • Remove from the oven and then make the sauce by melting butter and sugar together in a small sauce pan over low heat.
