I found this at the www.idunno4recipes.com site:

Ruths Chris Bread Pudding

2 8-oz. loaves French bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, toasted
1 quart milk
1 quart half-and-half
12 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 sticks sweet butter
1 cup raisins
1 apple, peeled, cored, but into 1/2-inch dice
1 tbs cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
pinch of salt
2 tbs. vanilla extract
2 tbs. bourbon

Combine sugars and divide in half. Add cinnamon, eggs, vanilla, bourbon and salt to 1/2 the sugar. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter with the other half of the sugar and bring to a boil. Whisk milk mixture into egg mixture, add raisins and apples. Add bread cubes and let stand until soaked through to center. Stir in a few raisins from the bottom and sprinkle a few on top. Pour into buttered baking dish (10x3x3-inches) and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. This appeared in our paper several years ago, however, it does not include the whiskey sauce Posted By: Toni
