AMBROSIA OF ORANGE OR PINEAPPLE
This is a pretty dessert or supper dish. You require a cocoanut and six oranges
or a pineapple. Grate the cocoanut, and slice the oranges or pineapple; then in
a glass dish lay a layer of fruit, and a layer of the grated cocoanut, until
your bowl is full. Strew powdered sugar over each layer of fruit, and on the
top, and it is ready.
FLOATING ISLAND, WITHOUT WINE
Beat the whites of five eggs with a little currant jelly until they are quite
thick. Sweeten a pint of cream, add a teaspoonful of extract, pour it in the
bowl, and then drop your whites of eggs and jelly by spoonfuls on the cream. If
you can not procure cream, you may make a substitute of a custard, made of a
pint of sweet milk, yolks of two eggs, and half a cup of white sugar.
EGG-NOG
Take the yolks of ten eggs; add to them ten tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar,
three pints of new milk, and one pint of the best brandy (whiskey will do). Beat
up the whites the last thing, and stir in, after the liquor is poured in.
