Hemp Cranberry Bread Pudding with Grand Marnier Sauce

A decadent dessert worthy of a dinner party. Naturally, I recommend Dr. Bronner’s Fair Trade Organic Whole Virgin Coconut Oil, the company’s only food product. If you don’t have day-old bread, cut fresh bread cubes, lightly toast in the oven, and allow to cool before starting. A fresh loaf will also work, but the top might not become as crusty after baking.

Ingredients

• 1 baguette (at least 1 day old), cut into 1-inch pieces
• Coconut oil, for greasing dish
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
