BREAD PUDDING WITH LEMON SAUCE

AHoliday Bread Puddingn old-fashioned steamed bread pudding flavored with lemon, nutmeg and cognac. Makes an excellent choice for a holiday dessert.
Why try? This is one incredible, classic dessert. It will melt in your mouth.
Foodie Byte: Use a pudding mold to make a beautiful presentation at the table.
