Blackberry and Blueberry Bread Pudding with Limoncello Glaze
Summertime . . . and the livin’ is eeeeeeeasy!

Summer always brings to mind fresh berries in vivid bright colors.  And this delicious bread pudding shows off the colors of summer:  bright blue skies along with yellow sunshine.

We just can’t seem to get enough fresh blueberries and blackberries in our tummies lately!  We’re just obsessed with these berries, especially in how they compliment another obsession in our family:  lemon!

I am unapologetic about this current craze going on my kitchen.  My husband is also very grateful, gobbling down each of my berry-lemon/limoncello creations.

This is one of those recipes that you will seriously stand by the counter and eat directly out of the pan before any of it ever makes it to a plate!

I’m SO guilty-bad about that!

I created this delicious, lemony, tart-sweet bread pudding using a lemon cake from my local bakery where everything is baked fresh and without any preservatives.  That step really simplifies this recipe.

The flavors combine beautifully, there’s no overpowering of any flavor, but rather everything sings together in perfect harmony of complimenting each other.

The tangy sweet Limoncello glaze is so good that it should be bottled!

Hope you enjoy . . . and that you grab a BIG spoon!
