t being very great. It is larger, and is less
succulent, but more acid: with a little artificial heat, the
citron comes to as great perfection in England as in Spain and
Italy. The fruit is oblong and about five or six inches in
length. The tree is thorny. The juice forms an excellent
lemonade with sugar and water; its uses in punch, negus, and in
medicine, are well known. The rind is very thick, and, when
candied with sugar, forms an excellent sweetmeat. There are
several varieties cultivated in England, one of which is termed
the Forbidden Fruit.

ITALIAN CREAM.

1437. INGREDIENTS.--1 pint of milk, 4 pint of cream, sugar to taste, 1
oz. of isinglass, 1 lemon, the yolks of 4 eggs.

_Mode_.--Put the cream and milk into a saucepan, with sugar to sweeten,
and the lemon-rind. Boil until the milk is well flavoured then strain it
into a basin, and add the beaten yolks of eggs. Put this mixture into a
jug; place the jug in a saucepan of boiling water over the fire, and
stir the contents until they thicken, but do not allow them to boil.
Take the cream off the fire, stir in the lemon-juice and isinglass,
which should be melted, and whip well; fill a mould, place it in ice if
at hand, and, when set, turn it out on a dish, and garnish as taste may
dictate. The mixture may be whipped and drained, and then put into small
glasses, when this mode of serving is preferred.

_Time_.--From 5 to 8 minutes to stir the mixture in the jug.

_Average cost_, with the best isinglass, 2s. 6d.

_Sufficient_ to fill 1-1/2-pint mould. _Seasonable_ at any time.

THE HIDDEN MOUNTAIN.

(_A pretty Supper Dish_.)

1438. INGREDIENTS.--6 eggs, a few slices of citron, sugar to taste, 1/4
pint of cream, a layer of any kind of jam.

_Mode_.--Beat the whites and yolks of the eggs separately; then mix them
and beat well again, adding a few thin slices of citron, the cream, and
sufficient pounded sugar to sweeten it nicely. When the mixture is well
beaten, put it into a buttered pan, and fry the same as a pancake; but
it should be three times the thickness of an ordinary pancake. Cover it
with jam, and garnish with slices of citron and holly-leaves. This dish
is served cold.

_Time_.--About 10 minutes to fry the mixture.

_Average cost_, with the jam, 1s. 4d.

_Sufficient_ for 3 or 4 persons. _Seasonable_ at any time.
