This was another favorite of Mémé Marie-Louise always pushing for healthy desserts.  This meets her criteria with lots of iron, low fat, and a delicious taste. Frankly, you could do worse than eat this for breakfast!

Soak 3/4 cup golden raisins in a cup  with  1 tbsp rum and 3 tbsp water for at least half an hour stirring once in a while.

Bring one litre of milk with 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp vanilla extract  and 3/4 cup sugar close to a boil in a 4 quart non-stick pot, turn the heat down and add slowly while stirring a cup of wheatlets or cream of wheat. Stir for 4 minutes, cool down. Stir into that four eggs beaten like for an omelette,  the raisin mix, and the zest of half a lemon or orange.

For the caramel, clean a stainless steel pot thoroughly, add 4 tbsp sugar, 3tbsp water, 1 tbsp lemon juice and heat up to golden brown.  If the sugar remains white and becomes crusty, your pot was not really  clean, but the lemon juice helps. Watch like a hawk! As soon as it is barely golden brown, remove from the heat and add 4 tbsp water careful of splashing sugar on your hands. Right away pour this in a crown mold or a pie dish. Add the cream of wheat mix and smoothen. Bake for 40 minutes at 325.  Cool down, refrigerate 3 hours, see if you can take out of the dish to serve with the caramel on top by flipping over a serving platter. Serve very cold. This pudding is enough for eight adults or six children at the most, trust me!
