PUMPKIN BREAD PUDDING

If you like Bread Pudding this is very nice and easy.

Cube or break up 1/2 Loaf of French Bread into a greased 9x13 pan.

Mix Together with a whip:
½ C. White Sugar
¼ C. Brown Sugar
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
¼ Tsp. Mace or Nutmeg

(Mace is a little different than nutmeg but

similar. I like it in the recipe.)
¼ Tsp. Allspice
¼ Tsp. Salt
½ C. Whipping Cream
4 Eggs
1 C. Canned Pumpkin
1 ½ C. Milk

Topping:
2 T. Melted Butter
½ C. Brown Sugar
½ C. Chopped nuts. (Can use Oatmeal)

Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes. (If you have time let it sit for 1/2 hour or more so the bread can soak up the pumpkin mixture) Sprinkle with the topping. Set the pan in a larger pan with about an inch of hot water. Bake 350 for 40 Minutes. Serve warm with a little brandy or rum flavoring added to about 1/2 C. maple syrup and whipped cream or just whipped cream is wonderful.
