Girls Night Out





What a fun evening dinner we shared together tonight. I have the nicest friends and we try to get together as often as our busy schedules permit. I think it was last February that I hosted a get together at my little home.

Tonight we enjoyed good friendship at a beautiful home overlooking the golf course.  These are all women from my little church and we are as diverse in backgrounds as we can get. They are just a group of special women - busy women, interesting women. That is one of the things that I enjoy about our group and church.

I prepared dessert for the group. It is a recipe that I made many, many times in the 60's.  And, yes, I made it  "from scratch",  including graham cracker crust, custard and meringue. 


It is called Pineapple Delight. And, it was "melt in your mouth" goodness.


This is the recipe from an old 3 x 5 recipe card.

            Pineapple Delight

Crush 26 graham crackers
Mix with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter.
Take out 1/2 cup of crumb mixture and reserve for topping.  Put the remainder of crumb mixture in the bottom of a greased (9 x 13 x 2) baking pan. 
Make custard in top of double boiler with the following:
     3 cups milk
     3/4 cup sugar
     3 large egg yolks (slightly beaten)
     5 Tbsps. cornstarch
     1/8 tsp. salt
     A small piece of butter
Cool a little and pour on top of crumb layer.
Spread over this, a layer of crushed pineapple, drained - large can
Make a meringue with the following:
     3 egg whites
     6 Tbsps. sugar
Spread over pineapple layer.  Sprinkle with the saved 1/2 cup crumb mixture.
Brown in 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
Cool and refrigerate over night and serve.

Try it, You will like it!

I hope you are having a Great Weekend
