Well.... It's not Figgy pudding like the Christmas Song says ...( Okay.. I must admit I have never had or know anyone who has ever had Figgy pudding either.) but I bet it's just as good. I decided to throw some dried craisins (cranberries) in my bread pudding one day awhile back and I simply loved it that way. The sweet and tangy flavors blend ever so nicely. I am not a huge fan of regular raisins but my family is so I sometimes double the recipe in an oblong baking dish and make it half cranberries on one side and half raisins on the other just to humor everyone. This is great for a brunch on Christmas Day.
Prepare 3 cups(4 slices) dried bread cubes by baking them in a 300 degree oven about 15 minutes.
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Put the next ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well;
4 beaten eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup dried cranberries (craisins).
Pour the egg mixture over bread and fruit.

Cool slightly before serving.
