CABINET PUDDING.

Butter well the inside of a pudding-mold. Have ready a cupful of
chopped citron, raisins and currants. Sprinkle some of this fruit on
the bottom of the mold, then slices of stale sponge cake; shake over
this some spices, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, then fruit again and
cake, until the mold is nearly full. Make a custard of a quart of
milk, four eggs, a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter;
pour this over the cake without cooking it; let it stand and soak one
hour; then steam one hour and a half. Serve with wine sauce or a
custard. Seasoned with wine.

BAKED CRANBERRY PUDDING.

Pour boiling water on a pint of bread crumbs; melt a tablespoonful of
butter and stir in. When the bread is softened, add two eggs and beat
thoroughly with the bread. Then put in a pint of the stewed fruit and
sweeten to your taste. Fresh fruit of many kinds can be used instead
of cranberries. Slices of peaches put in layers are delicious. Serve
with sweet sugar sauce.

ORANGE PUDDING. No. 1.

One pint of milk, the juice of six oranges and the rind of three,
eight eggs, half a cupful of butter, half a cupful of granulated
sugar, one tablespoonful of ground rice, paste to line the
pudding-dish. Mix the ground rice with a little of the cold milk. Put
the remainder of the milk in the double boiler, and when it boils stir
in the mixed rice. Stir for five minutes; then add the butter and set
away to cool. Beat together the sugar, the yolks of eight eggs and
whites of four. Grate the rinds and squeeze the juice of the oranges
into this. Stir all into the cooked mixture. Have a pudding-dish
holding about three quarts lined with paste. Pour the preparation into
this and bake in a moderate oven for forty minutes. Beat the remaining
four whites of the eggs to a stiff froth and gradually beat in the
powdered sugar. Cover the pudding with this. Return to the oven and
cook ten minutes, leaving the door open. Set away to cool. It must be
ice cold when served.
