Down East Blueberry Bread Pudding
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. sugar, or equivalent sweetener amount
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
10 packages diabetic sweetener
1 pint fresh blueberries, sorted and stemmed
1 tsp. lemon juice, fresh
4 slices stale white bread
1-1/2 Tbsp. margarine, room temperature
1/2 C. evaporated skimmed milk
Cooking Instructions
Combine the sugar, cornstarch and sweetener, pressing out all lumps. Dump the blueberries into a 6-C. shallow casserole that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Dump in the sugar mixture, add the lemon juice, and toss well to mix. With a potato masher, lightly mash the blueberries, and set aside. Butter the bread with the margarine lightly on one side. Stack the slices and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Dump into the casserole and toss well to mix. Bake the pudding uncovered at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, add the evaporated skim milk, and stir well to mix. Return to oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Serve warm, topped by a little whole milk, if desired.
