INSTRUCTIONS
Grease a 9x13 pan. Tear up croissants or french bread and place in greased pan, close together to cover bottom of pan.

Beat eggs, half and half or milk ( I prefer half and half), sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt in a blender until mixed well.

Pour the egg mixture over the croissants in pan.

Cover and let sit in fridge overnight or at least 6 hours.

About an hour before ready to bake, remove pan from fridge. Sprinkle 2 cups of fruit on top of croissants. Sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons sugar.

Bake uncovered on center rack of oven for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Make syrup while breakfast is baking.

FOR SYRUP:
Place Karo syrup, cream and sugar into a pan. Bring to boil.

Continue cooking at a boil for about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and pinch of salt.

When Overnight Berry Bake is done, remove from oven and drizzle about 1/2-1 cup of the syrup over the baked dish.

Serve with the remaining syrup on the side. Any leftover syrup may be used for pancakes, waffles, etc.
