NEW ORLEANS BOURBON SAUCE

The best bourbon bread pudding recipes feature a rich custard, tender bread, and sweet bourbon sauce. For a version to pair with our New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding recipe, we only needed about a tablespoon of bourbon. It lent the sauce a New Orleans taste that was not overly boozy. We also enjoyed leftover sauce drizzled over ice cream (for adults only!).
Makes about 1 cup

Bourbon Sauce is traditionally drizzled over portions of bread pudding in New Orleans. It's potent stuff, so just a tablespoon per serving is enough. Leftover sauce is good over ice cream—for adults only.
