bread and wet this with a wineglass of
red wine. Pound two tablespoons of almonds, stir the yolks of four eggs
with half a cup of powdered sugar, flavor with cinnamon, and add the
grated bread and almonds. Stone one-half pound each of sweet and sour
cherries. Mix all thoroughly with the beaten whites added last. Do not
take the juice of the cherries. Butter the pudding mold well before you
put in the mixture. To be eaten cold.

DATE PUDDING

Melt three tablespoons of butter, add one-half cup of molasses, one-half
cup of milk, one and two-third cups of flour sifted with one-half
teaspoon of baking-soda, one-quarter teaspoon of salt, one-quarter
teaspoon each of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to the above one-half
pound of dates, stoned and cut. Turn into a well-buttered mold. Butter

PRINCE ALBERT PUDDING

Rub to a cream half a pound of sweet butter and half a pound of sifted
powdered sugar; add the yolks of six eggs, one at a time, and the grated
peel of one lemon. Stone half a pound of raisins, and add also a little
citron, cut very fine. Now add gradually half a pound of the finest
flour, sifted three or four times, and the stiffly-beaten whites of the
eggs. Pour this mixture into a well-buttered mold, into which you have
strewn some blanched and pounded almonds. Boil fully three hours. Serve
with sweet brandy or fruit sauce.

PEACH PUDDING

In a large mixing bowl whip to a cream two eggs, three tablespoons of
sugar, and two tablespoons of butter. To this, after it is well beaten,
add a saltspoon of salt and half a grated nutmeg. Stir these ingredients
well into the mixture; then stir in a cup of milk. Last add, a little at
a time--stirring it well in to make a smooth batter--a cup and a half of
flour and three-quarters of a cup of Indian meal, which have been sifted
together with three teaspoons of baking-powder in another bowl.

Butter well the inside of a two-quart pudding mold; put a layer of the
pudding batter an inch deep in the mold; cover this with a layer of fine
ripe peaches that have been peeled and cut in quarters or eighths--this
depends upon the size of the peaches. Sprinkle the layer of peaches with
a light layer of sugar; then pour in a layer of batter; then a layer of
peaches. Repeat this process till all the material is in, leaving a
layer of batter on top. Steam for two hours.
