Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes (should have about 9 cups). In a bowl fold bread into custard till coated. Grease a 6-1/2-cup tower mold (without tube). Drain raisins and cherries, reserving sherry. Arrange one-fourth of cherries in bottom of the mold; sprinkle 1/3 c. raisins into the mold. Add one-fourth of bread-cube mixture. Sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons reserved sherry.
