Add the granulated and brown sugars, whiskey and cinnamon and mix until the sugars are dissolved. Pour the mixture over the bread. Sprinkle the cherries and pecans all over.
• Put the baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown, 55 to 70 minutes. Let rest for 20 minutes before serving with Whiskey Cream Sauce.

RUBY'S BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Arrange bread in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan just large enough to hold it in 1 layer. Pour water over bread and soak 30 seconds. Turn bread over and soak until softened but not falling apart (parts of crust will remain firm), about 4 minutes more. Squeeze water from bread, then transfer bread to a buttered 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish or other 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, butter, sugars, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and stir in raisins and pineapple. Pour mixture over bread and stir gently until combined well.
• Bake pudding, uncovered, in middle of oven until custard is just set, 45 to 50 minutes.

BEST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
• Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
• Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
