Thanks Tish for a trip back to childhood. Too bad I had forgotten this wonderful comfort food and this recipe is very good. Because we do not care for anything too sweet I have to cut back on sugar (it does not affect the recipe) and use apricot jam. Thanks again for bringing back lovely memories of home. -
We called this Queen o' Puddings in my family. A nice trip down memory lane! I made this for a special dinner for my daughter coming home from overseas (Roast Lamb, roast sweet potatoes, asparagus, gravy and mint sauce and this pudding with fresh strawberries). It was rather indulgent of me since I like bread puddings and my other daughter doesn't so I didn't tell her what was in the pudding. I turned stale bread into breadcrumbs rather than use toasted bread in cubes. It makes for a velvety texture. She loved it. She still thinks it was semolina! I also added some of the fresh strawberries to strawberry jam to have a really fruity layer. -
The bread part isn,t very sweet but the preserves and meringue make this very rich. My cook time was a little longer than listed but that could just be my oven. I also used strawberry preserves in one batch and apricot in the other. Both are good cold and hot

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
