FANTASY CHERRY SAUCE:

2 cups packed dried pitted Bing or other sweet

cherries

3 cups orange juice

In a large bowl, combine the milk, cream, eggs, dark brown sugar, rum, vanilla,

and pecans. Stir well to mix.

 

Divide the croissant pieces into 4 portions. Overlap one portion in the bottom

of the insert. Pour in one third of the milk mixture. Add anther overlapping

layer of croissant pieces, then pour in one-half of the remaining milk mixture.

Make a third layer of croissants, and then pour in the remaining milk mixture.

low and cook until the custard is set and an instant-read thermometer inserted

in the center of the pudding registers 190ºF, about 3 hours. Serve hot or at

room temperature with Fantasy Cherry Sauce.

saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10

minutes. Let the sauce cool in the pan. Serve hot, warm, or at room

temperature. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to
