Ingredients:

2 pounds of white bread, preferably homemade

8 large eggs

2 Tablespoons grated orange peel

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1/4 cup Grand Mariner

1-1/2 cup fresh cranberries

1 cup broken pecans

3 quarts milk (maybe more depending on how dry bread is)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1-1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Butter bottom and sides of a large baking dish (12 x 18 x 3 inches). Layer 1 level of bread. Save enough bread to put a layer on top. Cube remaining bread and put on top of first layer. Sprinkle with cranberries, pecans, grated orange rind. Cover with saved bread. Butter top bread. Mix all other ingredients and whisk until foamy. Pour over bread slowly, letting bread absorb liquid. Liquid should come to within 1/2 inches of top pan. Add more milk if necessary. Place in 425-degree preheated oven. Bake 15 minutes and reduce to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour or until firm when tested. Best if made the night before so it can cure. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
