 Categories: Breads, Fruits, Citrus, Vegetables, Nuts
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
     16 oz Loaf challah; in 1" cubes
    1/4 c  Butter
      2 c  Chopped onion
      2 c  Chopped fennel
  1 1/4 c  Orange juice
    1/2 c  Dried apricots; chopped
    1/2 c  Dried figs; chopped
    1/2 c  Dried cherries; chopped
    1/2 c  Pitted dried plums (prunes);
           - chopped
      2 tb Snipped fresh tarragon
      1 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
      1 c  Walnuts; toasted, coarse
           - chopped
      3 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
      2 c  Milk
           Fresh tarragon (opt)
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Spread bread cubes in a shallow roasting pan. Bake about
  20 minutes or until toasted, stirring twice; cool. Reduce
  oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  
  Meanwhile, grease a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan; set aside.
  In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add
  onions and fennel; cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until
  fennel is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in orange
  juice, apricots, figs, cherries, plums, snipped tarragon,
  salt, and nutmeg. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat.
  Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in walnuts.
  
  In an extra-large bowl combine bread cubes and fruit
  mixture. In a medium bowl combine eggs and milk. Add egg
  mixture to bread mixture, tossing gently to moisten.
  Transfer mixture to the prepared roasting pan.
  
  Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Bake, uncovered, about 30
  minutes more or until heated through. If desired, garnish
  with tarragon.
  
  FROM THE TEST KITCHEN: Can't find challah? Try brioche.
  Not a fan of figs? Use dates. Not a fan of fennel? Use 2
  cups chopped carrots in place of the fennel.
