Description

Sunday gravy and my Grandmother's meatballs is without a doubt one of my favorite things in life. The gravy “aka” pasta sauce is a recipe that I have combined from several family members over the years and made my own. The meatball recipe is my Grandmother's and was passed down to her from her Mother. My Grandmother often used a meatball mix like I am using, but she also often made meatballs like her mother did which was with all ground pork. doubt one of my favorite things in life.

Ingredients (Bread Pudding)

6 eggs 2 cups Granulated Sugar 2 cups Milk 1 cup Heavy Cream ½ tsp Salt 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon 4 oz butter, softened 1 loaf of White Bread

Instructions

Butter a loaf pan and place in a water bath. Cut the loaf of bread into 1-inch cubes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Mix them together well. Add the softened butter, cream, salt, and cinnamon and mix well. Pour the mixture over the prepared bread cubes. Press on the bread to make sure the custard is really soaked into the bread. Place soft butter over the bread. Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown. The custard will become firm.

Ingredients (Vanilla Sauce)

3 egg yolks ½ cup sugar ½ vanilla bean that has been split lengthwise 1 cup milk 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

In a saucepan, bring to a boil the milk, cream, and the vanilla bean. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. While whisking constantly, pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture. Whisk the entire time so the egg yolks do not scramble. Place the mixture back on the heat but not boil the mixture. The sauce will become creamy and thick. Strain the sauce and place the bowl in an ice bath.
