hour to an hour. Mash and rub through a sieve, adding, while warm, a good-sized
lump of butter; to every quart of pumpkin, after it is mashed, add two quarts of
milk and six eggs, the yolks and whites beaten separately, sugar to taste, one
tea-spoon salt, table-spoon ground cinnamon, one grated nutmeg, tea-spoon
ginger; bake in a hot oven until well set and a nice brown. It is as well to
heat the batter scalding hot, stirring constantly until it is poured into the
pie-dishes.--Mrs. Gov. Irwin, California.
PINE-APPLE PIE.
A cup sugar, a half cup butter, one of sweet cream, five eggs, one pine-apple
grated; beat butter and sugar to a cream, add beaten yolks of eggs, then the
pine-apple and cream, and, lastly, the beaten whites whipped in lightly. Bake
with under crust only.--Mrs. Wm. Smith, Jacksonville, Florida.
PRESERVE PUFFS.
Roll out puff-paste very thin, cut into round pieces, and lay jam on each, fold
over the paste, wet edges with white of an egg, and close them; lay them on a
baking sheet, ice them, and bake about fifteen minutes.--Mrs. H. A. E.
PLUM COBBLER.
Take one quart of flour, four table-spoons melted lard, half tea-spoon salt, two
tea-spoons baking-powder; mix as for biscuit, with either sweet milk or water,
roll thin, and line a pudding-dish or dripping-pan, nine by eighteen inches; mix
three table-spoons flour and two of sugar together, and sprinkle over the crust;
then pour in three pints canned damson plums, and sprinkle over them one
coffee-cup sugar; wet the edges with a little flour and water mixed, put on
upper crust, press the edges together, make two openings by cutting two
incisions at right angles an inch in length, and bake in a quick oven half an
hour.
Peaches, apples, or any kind of fresh or canned fruit, can be made in the same
way.--Miss S. Alice Melching.

Stew sliced green tomatoes (not peeled) in a small quantity of water; for one
