_Mrs. O.’s Pumpkin Pie._

73

One quart of strained pumpkin, or squash.

74

Two quarts of milk, and a pint of cream.

75

One teaspoonful of salt, and four of ginger.

Two teaspoonfuls of pounded cinnamon.

Two teaspoonfuls of nutmeg, and two of mace.

78

Ten well-beaten eggs, and sugar to your taste.

79

Bake with a bottom crust and rim, till it is solid in the centre.

80

_Cracker Plum Pudding_ (_excellent_).

81

Take eight Boston soda crackers, five pints of milk, and one dozen eggs.

82

Make a very sweet custard, and put into it a teaspoonful of salt.

83

Split the crackers, and butter them very thick.

84

Put a layer of raisins on the bottom of a large pudding dish, and then a layer of crackers, and pour on a little of the custard when warm, and after soaking a little put on a thick layer of raisins, pressing them into the crackers with a knife. Then put on another layer of crackers, custard, and fruit, and proceed thus till you have four layers. Then pour over the whole enough custard to rise even with the crackers. It is best made over night, so that the crackers may soak. Bake from an hour and a half to two hours. During the first half hour, pour on, at three different times, a little of the custard, thinned with milk, to prevent the top from being hard and dry. If it browns fast, cover with paper.

85

Bread and butter pudding is made in a similar manner, except the custard need not be cooked when poured in, and the fruit may be left out.

86

_Minced Pie._

87

Two pounds and a half of tongue, or lean beef.

88

A pound and a half of suet.

89

Eight good-sized apples.

90

Two pounds of raisins.

91

Two pounds of sugar.

92

Two gills of rose water.

93

One quart of wine.

94

Salt, mace, cloves, and cinnamon, to the taste.

95

Boil the meat, and chop very fine. Chop the suet and apples very fine. Stone the raisins, cutting each into four pieces. Dissolve the sugar in the wine and rose water, and mix all well together with the spices. Twice this quantity of apple improves the pies, making them less rich. Line your plates with a rich paste, fill, cover, and bake. Measure the spices used, to save tasting next time, and to prevent mistakes.

96

_Marlborough Pudding._

97

Six tart apples.

98

Six ounces of sifted sugar.

99

Six ounces of butter, or a pint of thick cream.

100

The grated peel of one lemon, and half the juice.

101

Grate the apples after paring and coring them. Stir together the butter and sugar as for cake. Then add the other ingredients, and bake in a rich paste. Some persons grate in crackers, and add rose water and nutmeg. It is much better to grate than to stew the apples, for this and all pies.

102

_Orange, or Lemon Pudding._

103

Two large lemons, or oranges.

104

One pound of loaf sugar.

105

Four ounces of butter.

106

One pint of cream.

107

Nine eggs.

108

A little rose water.

109

Grate the yellow part of the peel of the fruit, squeeze the juice, mix the butter and sugar thoroughly together, beat the eggs well. Mix all the ingredients except the juice, which must not be added until ready to bake. Line your dishes with a rich paste, and fill and bake three quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.

110

_Sweet Potato Pudding._

111

Grate half a pound of parboiled sweet potatoes, and stir to a cream six ounces of sugar and six of butter, and then add the beaten yolks of eight eggs.

112

Mix the above, and add the grated peel and juice of a lemon, a glass of wine, and a grated nutmeg.

113

The last thing, put in the whites of the eggs beat to a stiff froth.

114

Common potatoes and carrots may be made as above, only they are to be boiled soft, and put through a colander, and more sugar used.

115

_Quince Pudding._

116

Peel and grate six large quinces. Add half a pint of cream, half a pound of sugar, and six well-beaten eggs. Flavor with rose water, and bake in a buttered dish three quarters of an hour.
