I got this from Lovadell French, a Writers Club friend here in Florida. Comments are hers.
Low Cal Bread Pudding
5 slices white bread cut in half—if you have crusty bread, use cubed bread.
1/3 c sugar (I used Splenda)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c fat-free evaporated milk
1 large egg
2 T raisins
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 c unpacked brown sugar (can also use Brown Sugar Splenda here)
¼ c light corn syrup
1/3 c orange juice
1 oz dark rum
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. (175° C.) Coat a 8 X 8 pan with cooking spray. Lay bread slices, overlapping, in dish.
2. Beat together sugar, milk, vanilla and egg. Pour custard over and press bread into it to help soak it. Sprinkle with raisins and bake until firm. (30 minutes)
3. For Sauce: Put brown sugar, corn syrup, orange juice and rum in saucepan and simmer for 2 minutes.
To serve, cut pudding into 8 rectangles and top with warm rum sauce.
