My Southern Pineapple Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, DRAINED WELL
1 cup dried cranberries, craisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
22 slices de-crusted bread, torn into pieces

Preparation

In large bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla.
Add eggs, milk and pineapple, mix well.
Stir in \"craisins\" and pecans.
Fold in bread.
Pour into greased 13x9-inch glass baking dish, do not smooth flat--leave tiny peaks.
Bake, uncovered, in 350\u00b0F oven for 35-45 minutes until caramelized and peaks are tinged brown.
I serve this warm, not hot.
Goes great with turkey, ham, chicken, and pork as a side dish.
Leftovers even go great re-heated with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream!
