Ingredients

1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup orange juice
6 eggs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup orange juice
½ cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 slices French bread

Steps:

Combine cranberries, water, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until cranberries soften and turn jammy, 20 to 25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Whisk eggs, sugar, orange juice, half-and-half, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a shallow dish. Dip slices of French bread in the egg mixture until well coated on both sides. Transfer to the griddle and cook until egg coating is set, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Arrange 2 slices of French toast on each plate and spoon sauce on top.
