Servings: persons

1 ½ cups peaches, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter
4 -5 cups milk
⅓ cup rum (liquor)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
1 ¼ cups sugar, reserve 6 tablespoons
½ teaspoon salt
5 -6 day old plain croissants, slit in half crosswise

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
In a bowl, combine the peaches with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar and gently turn.
3
Let stand while you prepare the pudding.
4
Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease standard loaf pan or other comparable baking dish.
5
Pour the milk into a bowl.
6
If the croissants are still soft use 4 cups, but if they are quite dry use 5.
7
Beat in the rum, vanilla, the eggs and all but 6 tablespoons of the remaining sugar, and the salt.
8
Make a layer of croissants in the bottom of the pan, tearing them as necessary to to make them fit.
9
Sprinkle the layer with 1/3 of the peaches.
10
Pour 1/4 of the milk mixture.
11
Let the croissants soak up a bit of the mixture before continuing.
12
Repeat twice, pushing the layers down as you go, and ending with a layer of croissants.
13
Sprinkle the remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar over the top layer (I like to use Turbinado Sugar).
14
Dot it with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-60 minutes.
