| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. | 2. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut into 1 inch cubes. You should have about 3 1/2 cups of cubes. | 3. Arrange bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven till light golden brown, about 10 minutes. | 4. Let bread cubes cool but leave oven on. | 5. Over medium heat in a saucepan heat the half and half, cream, salt and vanilla bean, stirring occasionally. | 6. When it reaches a fast simmer(don't let it boil), turn off the heat. | 7. Set the mixture aside for 10-15 minutes for the vanilla to infuse. | 8. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. | 9. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. | 10. Strain this into another large bowl, to smooth the mixture and to get rid of the vanilla bean. | 11. Add the bread cubes, toss well, and let soak until absorbed. Fold the mixture occasionally to ensure even soaking. | 12. In a small saucepan, bring the orange juice to a simmer. Add the cranberries and simmer until plumped and softened, about 5 minutes. | 13. Drain cranberries and set aside. | 14. Divide the cranberries into 6 ramekins, custard cups or dessert cups, or just on the bottom of a deep baking dish, reserving enough cranberries to sprinkle on top of pudding. | 15. Next add the soaked bread and then any remaining custard in the bowl over the bread. | 16. Sprinkle with remaining cranberries. | 17. Arrange the 6 little puddings or the one large one in a hot water bath. | 18. Bake until just set and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes for the little puddings, and 40-45 for the large one. | 19. Serve warm or chilled, dusted with powdered sugar! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
