Mmm. This is a nice light snack or dessert. I didn't have raspberry preserves, so used my strawberry preserves instead. Delicious. The meringue on top gave it a fancy feel, but the granola has the homey comfort feel. A great combination.

I'm disable now for a couple years. I was in sales for 25 years and was a policeman for 5 years before that and just floated around a few years before that. I've been married to the same gal for 30 years, got two sons and two grandchildren.
I got into the recipe seen and have got hooked on it, I'm not a cook but I'm learning as I go. Enjoy reading the different recipes.
