Pwdin Mynwy (Monmouth Pudding)

½ lb. white breadcrumbs
4 small eggs
4 tablespoons sugar (flavored with 4 drops of vanilla essence)
1/4 scant cup of hot milk
½ lb. strawberry jam
3 tablespoons melted butter
½ lb. chopped dried fruit
a little sherry

Pour the milk and (half the) sugar over the breadcrumbs. Leave to absorb the milk. Separate the yolks and whites of eggs. Whisk whites with half the sugar. Pour half the breadcrumb mixture into pudding dish - spread the base of the dish with the sherry-soaked dried fruit (soak overnight for best results). Spread the jam over the breadcrumbs and finish off with the final amount of breadcrumb mixture.

Bake in a slow oven for 30 minutes or till set. Bring out and pour over whisked whites of eggs. Bake in very hot oven for 5 minutes until meringue is browned.
