3/4 c Packed brown sugar
1/2 ts Cinnamon
3/4 c Raisins
5 c Lightly packed 1-inch cubes
French bread (about 6 oz.) 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese,
Shredded (about 2 1/2 cups) 1/2 c Toasted almonds
Lightly sweetened whipped Cream, light cream, or ice Cream In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Bring to a boil, stirring. Pour over the bread and toss to mix. Add 2 cups of the cheese and the almonds, and toss. Turn into a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake in a
