  2. Made this with Challah instead of French Bread & added 3/4 cup dried apricots (chopped), as well. Was going to post this too when I found yours. What a great recipe, it was awesome! I commend you on your great taste - just kidding around. Marvelous and looks good too. Thanks for sharing, Diane
     
  3. For sauce: Instead of liqueur, put 1 TBL almond extract in a measuring cup and add water to make 1/4 C. Pour finished sauce over cooked pudding and place under broiler for 1-3 minutes.
