Ingredients:  
1/4 c Grand Marnier
2/3 c Dried Cranberries
1 1/2 lbs. Day-old Bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 c Whole Milk
1 1/2 c 40% Cream
1 1/2 c Sugar
3 tbsp. Melted Butter
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tbsp. Vanilla
4 Eggs

Grand Marnier Caramel Sauce
1 c Grand Marnier
2 tbsp. Orange Juice
3 c Sugar
3 c 40% Cream
Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl, pour the grand marnier over the dried cranberries and allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a 9 x 12 x 3 inch baking pan. Put bread cubes in a large bowl. Stir together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over bread; stir until well mixed. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Stir in cranberries and grand marnier. Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 1 hour or until set.
Serve hot with the Grand Marnier Caramel Sauce and Whipped Cream if desired.
Sauce:
In a heavy bottomed 2 quart pot, combine the Grand Marnier, OJ and Sugar, place over medium high heat. Do Not Stir. If crystals form on the side of the pan, brush down with a pastry brush dipped in water. Allow the sugar to brown to a rich, golden brown. Watch carefully and do not allow to burn; after about 10 minutes, mixture will change color very quickly. Remove from heat; whisk in cream slowly, stirring rapidly after each addition. Be careful; mixture will steam and sputter. Return to medium heat and stir until smooth.

Personal Notes:
This is a little pricey, but oh so Good! Great for a special brunch or a holiday breakfast.

This sauce also makes a delicious complement to ice cream or apple pie.
