CHERRY PIE.
Line your pie-plate with good crust, fill half full with ripe cherries; sprinkle
over them about a cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of sifted flour, dot a few bits
of butter over that. Now fill the crust full to the top. Cover with the upper
crust, and bake.
This is one of the best of pies, if made correctly, and the cherries in any case
should be stoned.
CURRANT PIE. No. I.
Make in just the same way as the Cherry Pie, unless they are somewhat green,
then they should be stewed a little
RIPE CURRANT PIE. No. 2.
One cupful of mashed ripe currants, one of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of water,
one of flour, beaten with the yolks of two eggs. Bake; frost the top with the
beaten whites of the eggs and two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar, and brown in
oven.
GREEN TOMATO PIE.
Take medium-sized tomatoes, pare, and cut out the stem end. Having your pie-pan
lined with paste made as biscuit dough, slice the tomatoes very thin, filling
the pan somewhat heaping, then grate over it a nutmeg, put in half a cup of
butter, and a medium cup of sugar, if the pan is rather deep. Sprinkle a small
handful of flour over all, pouring in half a cup of vinegar before adding the
top crust. Bake half an hour, in a moderately hot oven, serving hot. Is good;
try it.
APRICOT MERINGUE PIE.
A canned apricot meringue pie is made by cutting the apricots fine and mixing
them with a half cup of sugar and the beaten yolk of an egg; fill the crust and
bake. Take from the oven, let it stand for two or three minutes, cover with a
meringue made of the beaten white of an egg and one tablespoonful of sugar. Set
back in a slow oven until it turns a golden brown. The above pie can be made
into a tart without the addition of the meringue by adding criss-cross strips of
pastry when the pie is first put into the oven.
All of the above are good if made from the dried and stewed apricots instead of
the canned, and are much cheaper.
Stewed dried apricots are a delicious addition to mince-meat. They may be use in
connection with minced apples, or to the exclusion of the latter.
