Just Peachy Bread Pudding

Serves 8

1 loaf French bread, cubed

16-oz. can sliced peaches, drained

1/2 c. raisins

2 eggs

2 egg whites

3/4 c. sugar

12-oz. can evaporated milk

2 c. milk

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/4 t. nutmeg

1 t. coconut extract

1 T. vanilla extract

Fill a buttered 3-quart casserole dish with bread cubes, peach slices and raisins; stir gently and set aside. Combine remaining ingredients; blend well. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread, gently stirring to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Nothing says farm-fresh flavor like dollops of whipped cream on a warm home-baked dessert. In a chilled bowl, with chilled beaters, beat a cup of whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Stir in 2 teaspoons sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
