"Excellent version of Grape-Nut pudding, a New England favorite. Oddly enough, I've never found anyone who came from somewhere outside of New England who was brought up with this classic. Guess it's an..." See more acquired taste. Pity. The flavor is simple and uncomplicated like many recipes of this era, such as bread pudding, rice pudding, etc. It was born of relative poverty, when most households had little extra for desserts. Frugality dictated that women use what they had. I made this to take to my ailing mom, and she loved it. Added just a little cinnamon, plus a dash of lemon extract to offset the sweetness. Some finely grated lemon rind would be a nice addition. Sets up firmly, yet soft. Thumbs up on this one!"

"This recipe took 1 hour to bake in my oven which is tested for accuracy often. I used the knife as you do in a custard pie and as the recipe states. I found this recipe to be just OK -- one that I w..." See moreould make only if I had to when my pantry was bare. My husband gave it 4 stars but because it was a tad on the sweet side, took so long to bake, and was not appealing to me, I gave the rating two stars. I will not be making this again. There are too recipes to make and so little time."
