Tonight, I made three bread pudding recipes (I had alot of left over hot dog and hamburger buns after a cookout). This recipes wins hands down over Grandmother's Bread Pudding and Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce III. The bread pudding alone is very flavorful. The addition of the sauce makes a great recipe even more decadent. I only made a couple of changes: I used fresh strawberries and a cup of frozen mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries). I also substituted buttermilk and heavy cream for about 3 of the 6 cups of the whole milk--I needed to use these items before they went bad. Update: I sent my husband with a batch to take to work and I took one to my place of employment. We both received comments stating that this was the best bread pudding EVER! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

The only reason I'm giving this a "four" is because I did not make the bread pudding, only used the brown sugar sauce on another bread pudding recipe - it was yummy! I will try the whole recipe in the future, though, because it sure sounds good.

I've made several fruity bread puddings before. This one is a really good combination of spices and fruit. It's sweet and tasty enough without the sauce. I usually just let the bread soak about 5-10 minutes, then add the fruit, making sure none are on the surface.

I used a different bread pudding recipe and was looking for a yummy sauce. This brown sugar sauce was easy to make and delicious! It was the perfect sauce for the bread pudding! I can't wait to make the Berry Bread Pudding and use the sauce! I did add some cream to the sauce at the end to make it creamier. Wonderful recipe!

I did not find this bread pudding to be flavorful. I can't figure out what it was lacking, but it just wasn't quite right for me.

egg mixture makes a nice custard. i added more fruit than listed and mixed layered it with the bread in addition to having it on top. otherwise, the fruit only on the top will shrivel up and you will need much more to have the fruity taste as well. overall, very good. the sauce makes it.

REALLY Yummy, ate it for days. THe only change I made was to pour melted butter over the bread. I also added some chopped nuts on top. I wasn't crazy about the sauce, but it went well with it. Maybe a caramel sauce would be better. Either way it was delicious.

This was really good and I was prepared to NOT LIKE it. I am seriously attached to my mom's bread pudding recipe but this was a great alternative. The berries add just the right amount of flavor punch to tie everything together. It is a very wet bread pudding so if you like yours on the drier side add lots of bread.

Wow, this is a great recipe. I don't have great luck making sauces turn out right, so I was worried about this one, for sure. But it came out perfectly. And was a compliment to the pudding. The pudding is just like it should be. Crispy on top, mushy inside. The berries are a great addition. My husband who doesn't like desserts much really liked it. It's rich, though. Not for the faint of heart. I followed the recipe exactly (minus a cup of milk because I was worried about it all fitting in the mixing bowl) and it turned out great. Highly recommend this one.

This was my first attempt at any bread pudding recipe and I thought it turned out pretty good! I used frozen strawberries & blueberries. I think next time I will put the fruit under a layer of bread. As it baked, the blue berries on top dried out a bit too much. I don't think the brown sugar sauce was worth the time or calaries. The bread pudding has enough flavor to stand on its own.

This was a big hit with all my guests! Gooey, sweet and delicious. I used unsweetened frozen blueberries and strawberries and it was really yummy.

Bread pudding is my weakness, so I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe, especially one that doesn't require tons of butter or heavy cream. Instead of using butter to grease the pan, I sprayed 4 ramekins (halved the recipe) with cooking spray, used an egg substitute for the eggs and f/f half & half for the whole milk. Baking the dish (or ramekins) in a water bath helps to eliminate a soggy center, as some reviewers experienced. The spices complimented the fresh berries perfectly -- will make this again. Thanks!

This is a wonderful bread pudding recipe! I really love the richness of the berries & cinnamon together! I have varied the berries with whatever variety I have on hand, & they all have been great! Finally! A bread pudding worth making more than once!

I'm not a fan of bread pudding but this was delicious! I used 2 cups of strawberries and no blackberries since I didn't have any on hand. Also I used 2% milk mixed with half & half and evaporated milk since that's what I had. It still worked and will make it again.

WOW I can't believe people said too mushy, this was fantastic. I made sure the bread was 4 days old and measured only according to what the bread needed to soak up. My whole family loved it. Would do again!
