2 hours: if to be baked, put it into a pie-dish, and bake for nearly
an hour; turn it out of the dish, strew sifted sugar over it, and serve.

_Time_.--2-1/2 hours to boil; 1 hour to bake. _Average cost_, 1s. 2d.

_Sufficient_ for 5 or 6 persons.

_Seasonable_ from September to March.

CARROTS, says Liebig, contain the same kind of sugar as the
juice of the sugar-cane.

ROYAL COBURG PUDDING.

1260. INGREDIENTS.--1 pint of new milk, 6 oz. of flour, 6 oz. of sugar,
6 oz. of butter, 6 oz. of currants, 6 eggs, brandy and grated nutmeg to
taste.

_Mode_.--Mix the flour to a smooth batter with the milk, add the
remaining ingredients _gradually_, and when well mixed, put it into four
basins or moulds half full; bake for 3/4 hour, turn the puddings out on
a dish, and serve with wine sauce.

_Time_.--3/4 hour. _Average cost_, 1s. 9d.

_Sufficient_ for 7 or 8 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.

CHERRY TART.

1261. INGREDIENTS.--1-1/2 lb. of cherries, 2 small tablespoonfuls of
moist sugar, 1/2 lb. of short crust, No. 1210 or 1211.

_Mode_.--Pick the stalks from the cherries, put them, with the sugar,
into a _deep_ pie-dish just capable of holding them, with a small cup
placed upside down in the midst of them. Make a short crust with 1/2 lb.
of flour, by either of the recipes 1210 or 1211; lay a border round the
edge of the dish; put on the cover, and ornament the edges; bake in a
brisk oven from 1/2 hour to 40 minutes; strew finely-sifted sugar over,
and serve hot or cold, although the latter is the more usual mode. It is
more economical to make two or three tarts at one time, as the trimmings
from one tart answer for lining the edges of the dish for another, and
so much paste is not required as when they are made singly. Unless for
family use, never make fruit pies in very _large_ dishes; select them,
however, as deep as possible.

_Time_.--1/2 hour to 40 minutes.

_Average cost_, in full season, 8d.

_Sufficient_ for 5 or 6 persons.

_Seasonable_ in June, July, and August.

_Note_.--A few currants added to the cherries will be found to impart a
nice piquant taste to them.

CHERRIES.--According to Lucullus, the cherry-tree was known in
Asia in the year of Rome 680. Seventy different species of
cherries, wild and cultivated, exist, which are distinguishable
from each other by the difference of their form, size, and
colour. The French distil from cherri
