This was my first attempt at bread pudding and it turned out amazing. I used a vanilla bean instead of extract. I scraped the inside of the bean and put it in the milk along with the vanilla pod and let it soak for a few hours. Removed the pod before making the egg mixture. I used all blackberries and it was great. Definitely, DEFINITELY make the brown sugar sauce, even just the littlest drizzle over the top makes the dessert even more amazing. I loved this so much I made it twice in one week.

The instructions in this recipe fails. This was my third time making marshmallows and wanted to try something different so I have this recipe a go. I ended up with chunks of sugar/gelatin. The instructions just aren't clear. When I add the gelatin to the heated sugar and I add it immediately to the egg whites? Do I wait for the eruption to die down? Do I stir the sugar/water/syrup mixture while waiting for it to come to temp or do I leave it alone? With some tweaking I think the results could be great but I'm not even going to bother and just try a different recipe.

I made this to go along with the slow cooker bbq beef I made and my husband said that it was the best cornbread he's had. I did reduce the sugar a little and made my own buttermilk with skim milk and lemon juice. Thanks for the recipe, it will be added to our regular rotation for sure.
