Name: Warm Cherry Bread Pudding
Yield: Makes 8
Ingredients: 24 1/2-inch-thick slices challah or other egg bread (about 24 ounces); 2 cups whipping cream; 2 cups whole milk; 1 1/4 cups sugar; 8 large eggs; 1/4 cup dark rum; 2 tablespoons vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups dried tart cherries; Purchased caramel sauce, heated

"My husband isn't usually a bread pudding fan," writes Priscilla Moynihan of Vancouver, Washington, "but he loved the dried-cherry version I had at the Southpark Seafood Grill in Portland, Oregon. In fact, after he helped me finish it, we ordered another one."

The restaurant prepares this dessert with house-made brioche. We simplified the recipe by using purchased challah.
