VIRGINIA'S CINNAMON SAUCE (BREAD PUDDING, ICE CREAM, CREPES, ETC
My favorite recipe from my grandmother, who would make this to go over bread pudding and other desserts. So simple to make, but special enough for a holiday table (or over bread pudding to celebrate the birth of a child in our family!). An absolute family tradition; I haven't seen anything else like it. I've come to find that it's a pretty flexible recipe -- you can add more or less cinnamon, sugar, or even other spices (nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom are all good in addition to the cinnamon). I like mine a bit thicker so I use less water than called for here (2 to 2 1/2 cups), but most in my family make it just like this. Quick, easy, and really yummy.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING
Not only is bread pudding a great use of leftover bread, it's rich, satisfying, and delicious comfort food. The juice from the baked cherries makes this a very moist, tender, and sweet bread pudding. Good served with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
- Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
- Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
