Directions

Preheat oven to 350'F.

Place bread cubes in a 3-quart baking dish. (I spray with Pam first).

Add peaches and raisins to bread, mixing gently. In a bowl, combine eggs and egg whites with sugar and mix well. Add evaporated milk, skim milk, spices and flavorings, and blend well.

Pour egg mixture evenly over bread, and press bread with fork so it will soak up liquid (I use my hands). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Insert knife near center; if it comes out clean, its done.

Sauce

2 Tablespoons light margarine 2 Tablespoons flour 1⅓ cup skim milk 1 Tablespoon rum flavoring Melt margarine in a small saucepan and add flour and sugar, mixing well. Add milk, stirring constantly. Cook until mixture comes to a boil; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in flavoring. Serve over hot bread pudding.

Nutritional info per serving: 276 calories, 11% fat (3½ grams), 73% carbohydrate, 16% protein. by Holly Berkowitz Clegg This stores well in the fridge and reheats well in the microwave. I would not suggest freezing, as it is a custard.

A double batch of this can be made in those turkey roaster pans.

Reheat at 300'F for 20 minutes. We made this for our Garden Club Christmas Boutique that served 300, and everyone loved it.
