When my father was living on his own after college he wanted to learn how to cook. So my grandmother, an excellent home cook, gave him a spiral bound notebook in which she had written all of their favorite family recipes. It contained everything from her fancy plum pudding, famous "Meatballs for Choir Boys", to basic cube steaks, lamb stew, cranberry pie and, of course, her preserves. He makes all of these things to this day, and, thankfully, saved her notebook. This dessert was my father's favorite growing up and he made it a lot for us. These days I make it for my daughter. It is not fancy, but it is delicious and very fun to eat. It is like eating a big fluffy pile of lemon meringue.
