    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat all Orange Sauce ingredients over low heat 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly with wire whisk, until slightly thickened and temperature reaches 165°F for 15 seconds. Serve warm over pudding. Store covered in refrigerator.

  • Make an extra batch of the Orange Sauce to pour over fresh berries or sliced fruit.
  • Nothing ever went to waste in the soul food kitchen. Stale bread became bread pudding, dating all the way back to the 1800s. This updated variation is made with quick-to-fix biscuits.
