How to Make Bread Pudding With Drunken Prunes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup bourbon (or brandy) and 1 cup pitted prunes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the prunes to plump and absorb the liquor. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 4 cups cubed stale bread (challah, brioche, or sourdough work well), 2 cups milk, and the cooled drunken prunes (reserve some for garnish). Stir gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
- Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved prunes and 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) over the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
