When I was about seven my parents got me a children's cookbook and this recipe was in it. I made it and it was a hit and still is more than 45 years later. (oops!! I think I gave away my age here)

How To Make meringue bread pudding

    Beat the egg yolks and add the vanilla extract, gradually add about 1 cup of the hot milk to the egg yolks stirring continuously then add this back to the milk mixture and stir well. Pour into an oven proof dish and bake for 30 mnts.
  • 3
    Remove from oven and reduce the heat to 250 degrees F. Warm the jam to be easier to spread, then spread it all over the top of the baked pudding.

    In a clean, dry deep bowl beat the egg whites till they are thick and opaque then start adding the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating till stiff.
