Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce

We changed this recipe recently by substituting butterscotch schnapps for the amaretto in the sauce (don’t ask us why in the world we did not have amaretto, but had butterscotch schnapps). In any case, people that have had both versions swear the butterscotch schnapps turns a great bread pudding recipe into the “world’s best.” If you do not have stale French bread, you can cheat by cutting the French bread up in cubes and warming it in a low temperature oven until the bread dries out. Don’t have a double boiler? Place a clear heat resistant glass bowl over a pot of simmering hot water. Water should not reach the bottom of the bowl.
