Ingredients

• 2 Cups fresh peaches, peeled
• 1 14 Ounces (oz) can sweetened condensed milk, packaged
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 1.25 Cups hot water
• 0.25 Cups butter, melted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 4 Cups French bread, torn
• 0.5 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 Cups butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) light corn syrup
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) rum

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Chop the peaches and place them in a large bowl. Lightly mash them with a fork to release their juices.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and whisked eggs. Add this mixture to the peaches and mix well.
4. Stir in the hot water, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well combined.
5. Gently fold in the torn French bread pieces until they are completely moistened by the mixture.
6. Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the pudding is baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and rum.
9. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
10. Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
11. Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled with the caramel sauce. For an extra touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
12. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, to maintain freshness. Enjoy reheated for a delightful treat.
