This recipe is VERY large. I had to put it into two baking dishes. Consider cutting it in half, even if you're feeding Jason.
Ingredients
2¾ cups sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tbs cinnamon
2 tbs vanilla extract
3 tbs bourbon
Pinch salt
1 quart milk
1 quart half-and-half
12 eggs, beaten
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup raisins
1 apple, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch dice
8 cups very light day-old French bread, cut into ½-inch cubes
Directions
Combine sugars and divide in half. Put half the sugar mixture in a large mixing bowl and add the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon, and salt. In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the other half of the sugar mixture with the milk, half-and-half, butter, raisins, and apple. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk the warm-milk mixture into the sugar and spice mixture. Add the bread cubes and let stand until soaked through to the enter, about 20 minutes. Stir a few raisins from the bottom and sprinkle on top.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour the mixture into a large buttered baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until pudding is firm and set in the middle. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Makes twelve hearty servings.
