DOUBLE BOILER BREAD PUDDING
We really like bread pudding but this one is different as it cooks on top of the stove instead of in the oven, which is great when you want a comfort food dessert but don't want to heat up the kitchen with the oven on. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (March 1985)

Steps:
- Place raisins in a small bowl with rum and soak for a couple of hours. Drain raisins and reserve soaking liquid.
- Place bread pieces in a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Add raisins to dish. In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, heavy cream, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, lemon zest, and salt, and mix well to ensure the sugar has been dissolved. Add the reserved raisin soaking liquid to the milk mixture and pour over bread. Let sit until bread has soaked up all of the milk mixture for at least 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place baking dish in another large pan and add water about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour or until bread pudding has set. Remove bread pudding from oven and let cool to just warm.
- While bread pudding is cooling, make Rum Sauce:
- Combine sugar, evaporated milk, margarine, egg and yolks in the top of a double boiler and cook, stirring well, until thick. Do not let sauce boil. Keep warm until serving time. Whisk in rum just before serving. Serve bread pudding with sauce.
Tips:
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water.
- For a richer bread pudding, use heavy cream or half and half instead of milk.
- Add raisins, nuts, or other dried fruits to the bread pudding for a more varied flavor and texture.
- Top the bread pudding with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar before baking for a crispy crust.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
