With it being blueberry season now I thought I'd pass this along.


Blueberry ´n´ Spice Bread Pudding

Servings:
6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

3 cups soft white bread cubes (4 slices)

2 cups fresh or dry-pack frozen blueberries rinsed and drained

3 eggs

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 (14-ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º. Place bread cubes and blueberries in buttered 9-inch square baking pan. Mix well.

In large mixing bowl,beat eggs; stir in remaining ingredients. Pour evenly over breadcubes and blueberries, completely moistening bread.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes:
When cooked as directed, using fresh berries, I found it to be very runny
Next time, I used 4 cups bread and 1 cup warm water and cooked a few minutes longer checking for doneness and it was still moist but not runny.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - YUMMMMMM

Thanks SeaGurl. I haven't found any blueberries, but Katie and I have stocked up on blackberries the past couple weeks. We've made muffins, pies, cobblers and I am anxioustly awaiting Katie's Jam.

Now that's what I call a skillet dinner

There are several u-pick blueberry places around. I could find names for you if you'd like.

One is in Havana and the other is on 90E around the county line near Lloyd, that one has blackberries too.

Love blackberries....... That pic could be in Southern Living mag!!

Showboat, 10 acres of them to be found a hundred yards or so North of the Wacissa river mouth. It's a U-pick place but if you call ahead they'll sometimes pick them for you by the gallon. How do I know this? My dad living in SC has me get him 5 gallons each fathers day.

Here's the info for anybody interested (and gives a mighty good excuse to sneak in a canoe/kayak trip to the river too! )
