Ingredients

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 loaf French bread, cut into 11/2-inch slices
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup cranberries

Cranberry Sauce:
1 cup corn syrup
2 cups cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat cream cheese, sugar, margarine, vanilla and cinnamon in large bowl with electric mixer until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in milk.

Pour cream cheese mixture over combined bread and cranberries in large bowl. Toss lightly. Let stand 15 minutes; rearrange bread in bowl occasionally to moisten evenly.

Arrange bread in rows in greased 13x9-inch pan. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture over bread. Can be covered and kept in refrigerator overnight. Bake 40-45 minutes. Serve with Cranberry Sauce.

To make sauce, mix ingredients and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
