them gradually into the mixture. Simmer over the fire (stirring all the time),
but take off just before it boils, otherwise it will curdle. At once stir in the
fruit, set to cool, and then add a large tea-cup preserved strawberries or
raspberries, half a dozen preserved apricots or peaches, half a dozen preserved
green limes, and any other very nice and delicate sweatmeats; add a pint whipped
cream lightly to the mixture; put the whole into a large melon-mold that opens
in the middle, and freeze four hours in the usual way. Turn out when wanted and
serve on a glass dish.--Mrs. Gov. Grover, Oregon.
PRAIRIE PLUM PUDDING.
Stew together a tea-cup raisins and half tea-cup citron; prepare dish with
butter, put in a layer of sponge-cake (any kind of cake will do,
or Boston crackers, sliced and buttered may be used,
or even stale Graham bread-crumbs), then a layer of fruit, and so on, with cake
or bread for last layer; pour over it custard made of a quart of milk and yolks
of four eggs, sweetened to taste; bake until on inserting a knife the milk has
become water. Make a frosting of the whites of four eggs and four table-spoons
pulverized sugar, spread on pudding, brown in oven, and serve with sauce made of
one tea-cup white sugar, two-thirds pint water, one table-spoon butter, one
tea-spoon corn starch mixed smoothly with a little cold milk; let sugar and
water boil, add the rest and allow to boil a few moments, then add the white of
one well-beaten egg with one tea-spoon vanilla essence.--Mrs. M. E. Godard.
PLUM PUDDING.
Beat together half cup sugar, two eggs and one tea-spoon butter, add three pints
sweet milk, a little salt, six crackers rolled fine, one cup raisins, and half
sheet gelatine dissolved in a little water; season with nutmeg or cinnamon. Bake
in a pudding-dish.--Mrs. Dr. Stall, Union City.
POOR MAN'S PUDDING.
A quart of milk, half tea-cup rice, salt to taste, and one tea-cup sugar; place
in the oven while cold, stirring occasionally while the rice is swelling. It is
better to bake quite slowly about two hours.
