APPLE PUDDING.
Peel a dozen and a half of good apples, take out the cores, cut them up, and put
them in a stewpan that will just hold them, with a little cinnamon, two cloves,
and the peel of a lemon. Stew them over a slow fire till quite soft, then
sweeten with crushed sugar, moistened, and pass it through a hair sieve; add to
it the yolks of four eggs, and one white, a quarter of a pound of fresh butter,
half a nutmeg, some grated lemon-peel, and the juice of one lemon. Beat all well
together, and line a pie-pan with puff-paste, put in the pudding, and bake half
an hour.
MRS. MADISON'S PUDDING.
Take a quart of new milk, with half a lemon-peel, and a little cinnamon; boil it
gently, five or ten minutes, sweeten with loaf-sugar; break the yolks of five,
and the whites of three eggs into a dish, beat them well; add the milk, and beat
all well together; then strain them through a fine, hair sieve. Put a layer of
bread and butter in a pie-dish, and then a layer of currants, until the dish is
full; then pour the custard over it, and bake half an hour. The bread should be
cut thin.
