ref=”https://thinktasty1.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Peach-Bread-Pudding.jpg”>If you think it’d be impossible to whip up a special brunch or dessert starting with stale bread, canned peaches, and two ounces of liqueur shared among all the diners — you haven’t read this recipe. The bread and peaches soak overnight in a sweet and slightly spicy egg mixture which lets them bake up golden the next day. The finishing touch is the rich, sweet, and very easy Amaretto Sauce. This comes from the Corner Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas, close to downtown but still with a secluded feeling, not to mention high-speed internet and full gourmet breakfasts.
