Here is the recipe that was with the banana bread pudding I recently posted. Would this be similar to it?

***SAUCE***

1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

For sauce: Melt butter in small saucepan. Combine sugar and cornstarch; add to the butter. Stir in milk and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Serve warm sauce over warm pudding.

We used to have bread pudding at school with a pineapple sauce. It was yellow and had crushed pineapple in it. Was it anything like that? I don't have a recipe but can look for one if it is. It wasn't watery but was on the runny side. Not thick or gooey.

Here is a vanilla sauce recipe. You can make almost any kind of sauce. I just put a lemon glaze on top of mine.

VANILLA CREAM SAUCE:

2 c. milk (part cream)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. vanilla flavoring

Mix first 4 ingredients and heat to a boil, add vanilla. Pour over baked pudding. Garnish with cinnamon and sugar mixed.

I found a bunch of pineapple recipes but this really caught my eye.

Whiskey Sauce:

2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 cup bourbon or other whiskey

Pinch salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

In a 1-quart saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cream, milk, and sugar. Place the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the bourbon in a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend and make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the cream mixture and bring to a boil. Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, add the salt, and stir in the butter and the remaining 1/2 cup of bourbon. Serve warm

I make mine with whiskey sauce only. It's delicious!"
I'll try and find my recipe.

Well I couldn't go right to the recipe, it's been a while. The recipe above sounds like it. I used Irish whiskey, but the butter was the key. It has to have the butter. I could have just eaten it with a spoon.

Here is the recipe for the vanilla sauce that I make to
go over bread pudding.

Vanilla Sauce
1 C. sugar
2 T. flour
1 1/2 C. whipping cream
(sometimes I use half and half)
1/2 C. butter
2 t. vanilla
Blend sugar and flour together in a saucepan.
Whisk in whipping cream, add butter and cook
over medium heat, whisking often, unti thickened.
Add vailla and stir.
Serve warm or cold.
This is really good on warm bread pudding or
apple cake! It's also really good on chocolate ice
cream!

My Mother iused to make a delicious lemon sauce she put over apple crisps, ,etc. the ingredients were water, sugar, corn starch, and butter. Boiled on the stove. Not sure of proportions.

Thanks KT gang, as usual you-all come through with answers to requests Than you. I've printed these off and will be trying them to see which one's I like best. Dottie

I'm probably too late for this, but maybe next time you might want to try one of these. This is the whiskey sauce recipe I use--probably very similar to the one danihoney is talking about.

Also a couple of different sauces I haven't tried yet, but plan to.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON SAUCE

1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch

CARAMEL SAUCE
