NESSELRODE PUDDING. (_A fashionable iced pudding--Careme's Recipe_.)

1313. INGREDIENTS.--40 chestnuts, 1 lb. of sugar, flavouring of vanilla,
1 pint of cream, the yolks of 12 eggs, 1 glass of Maraschino, 1 oz. of
candied citron, 2 oz. of currants, 2 oz. of stoned raisins, 1/2 pint of
whipped cream, 3 eggs.

_Mode_.--Blanch the chestnuts in boiling water, remove the husks, and
pound them in a mortar until perfectly smooth, adding a few spoonfuls of
syrup. Then rub them through a fine sieve, and mix them in a basin with
a pint of syrup made from 1 lb. of sugar, clarified, and flavoured with
vanilla, 1 pint of cream, and the yolks of 12 eggs. Set this mixture
over a slow fire, stirring it _without ceasing_, and just as it begins
to boil, take it off and pass it through a tammy. When it is cold, put
it into a freezing-pot, adding the Maraschino, and make the mixture set;
then add the sliced citron, the currants, and stoned raisins (these two
latter should be soaked the day previously in Maraschino and sugar
pounded with vanilla); the whole thus mingled, add a plateful of whipped
cream mixed with the whites of 3 eggs, beaten to a froth with a little
syrup. When the pudding is perfectly frozen, put it into a
pineapple-shaped mould; close the lid, place it again in the
freezing-pan, covered over with pounded ice and saltpetre, and let it
remain until required for table; then turn the pudding out, and serve.

_Time_.--1/2 hour to freeze the mixture.

_Seasonable_ from October to February.

BAKED ORANGE PUDDING.

1314. INGREDIENTS.--6 oz. of stale sponge cake or bruised ratafias, 6
oranges, 1 pint of milk, 6 eggs, 1/2 lb. of sugar.

_Mode_.--Bruise the sponge cake or ratafias into fine crumbs, and pour
upon them the milk, which should be boiling. Rub the rinds of 2 of the
oranges on sugar, and add this, with the juice of the remainder, to the
other ingredients. Beat up the eggs, stir them in, sweeten to taste, and
put the mixture into a pie-dish previously lined with puff-paste. Bake
for rather more than 1/2 hour; turn it out of the dish, strew sifted
sugar over, and serve.

_Time_.--Rather more than 1 hour. _Average cost_, 1s, 6d.
