16 slices bread, crusts removed, cubed
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup butter, melted
6 large eggs
4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 orange peel strip (1/4 inch)
1/2 teaspoon orange extract

1
In a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer half of the bread cubes, cranberries and orange zest. Repeat layers. Drizzle with butter.
2
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla until blended; pour over bread mixture. Let stand for 15-30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
3
Bake, uncovered, at 375u00b0 for 65-75 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

For sauce, in a small heavy saucepan, whisk egg yolks and sugar. Stir in cream and orange peel. Cook over low heat about 15-20 minutes or until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160u00b0, stirring constantly but gently. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a bowl.
5
Place bowl in an ice-water bath for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in extract. Discard orange peel. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve with bread pudding.
