- 1/3 cup Raisins

- 1 +1/4 cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk or Cream
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Nutmeg grated
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon White Rum or Rum of choice
- 6-8 Maraschino Cherries cut in quarters
Instructions
- Soak raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8"x2" pan.
- Cut bread into 1" cubes and put them in the pan.
- Melt butter in the microwave and drizzle it evenly over the bread. If using, add raisins.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cream (or evaporated milk), sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and gently press it down with a fork until the bread soaks it up.
- Cut the cherries into quarters and distribute them evenly on top of the bread.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until it's set. It shouldn't jiggle when you take it out of the oven.

Notes
- Dry, old bread works best for the perfect texture.
- Customize with your favourite spices, like nutmeg, vanilla, or cinnamon.
- Avoid putting too much in the baking dish for even baking.
