LEMON PIE WITH CRUMBS

Place in a bowl 1 cup (good measure) of soft, crumbled stale bread.
Pour over this one cup of boiling water, add 1 teaspoonful (good
measure) of butter and beat until smooth, then add 1 cup of sugar, the
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon and the beaten yolks of 2 eggs. This
mixture should measure about 1 pint. Pour into a pie-tin lined with
rich pastry and bake. When cold spread over a meringue made of the
stiffly beaten whites of the 2 eggs and 3 tablespoonfuls of granulated
sugar. Place in the oven until the meringue is a light fawn color and
serve cold.

AUNT SARAH'S BUTTER SCOTCH PIE

Boil together 1 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter until a soft,
wax-like consistency. Mix together 2 heaping teaspoons flour, yolk of
1 egg and 1 cup of milk. Beat until smooth; stir this into the sugar
and butter mixture and cook until thick. Flavor with lemon or vanilla,
pour into baked crust and spread over top the beaten white of 1 egg to
which has been added tablespoon sugar and brown in oven.

GREEN TOMATO MINCE MEAT

One peck of green tomatoes, chopped fine; 3 lemons, 2 seeded raisins,
5 pounds of granulated sugar, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 teaspoonful of
cloves, 1-1/2 tablespoonfuls of nutmeg, 1 tablespoonful of cinnamon.
Cook tomatoes 3-3/4 hours, then add the other ingredients and cook all
together 30 minutes. A small quantity of grated orange peel, finely
minced citron, cider, brandy or canned fruit juice may be added to
improve the flavor of the mince meat. Fill air-tight jars with the hot
mixture and screw on jar-tops. This mince meat may be prepared in
season when tomatoes are plentiful; is both good and cheap and is a
splendid substitute for old-fashioned mince meat.

ORANGE MERINGUE (A PIE)

Into a bowl grate the yellow outside rind of a large, juicy orange;
add the juice and pulp, but not any of the tough part enclosing
sections. Add 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, 1 cup of granulated
sugar, which had been beaten to a cream with 2 tablespoonfuls of
butter, the yolks of 3 eggs, 2 large tablespoonfuls of corn starch,
mixed smoothly with a little cold water, and 1 cup of boiling water.
Cook all together until thickened and when cool spread on a rather
large pie-tin, lined with a baked crust of superior pastry. Add to the
stiffly beaten whites of 3 eggs 3 tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar.
Place meringue over top of pie and place in oven until a light fawn
color.
