Cranberry Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 2-quart (2 L) casserole dish or pudding pan. Pour bread cubes into prepared pan; set aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients, except whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour cranberry mixture over bread cubes. Let sit for 15 minutes. Bake pudding for 45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
