Apple Charlotte

Mrs. A. M. Gibbs.

Put a layer of bread, cut in thin slices and buttered on both sides, in the bottom of your pudding dish, and on this a layer of apples cut as for a pie, seasoning with sugar and a dust of cinnamon, alternating the bread and apples until the dish is filled, having a layer of bread on top.

One pint cream and whites of six eggs, beaten to a stiff froth separately; one-fourth ounce of gelatine soaked in one gill of milk; set on back of stove to dissolve. Mix cream and eggs, sweeten and flavor; stir in gelatine; when cool, place on sponge cake and set away to get firm; or you can use two eggs (whites) and one-half ounce gelatine. Good.

Mrs. A. M. Gibbs. Whip one quart rich cream to a stiff froth, and drain well on a nice sieve. To one scant pint of milk add six eggs beaten very light; make very sweet; flavor high with vanilla. Cook over hot water till it is a thick custard. Soak one full ounce Coxe's gelatine in a very little water, and warm over hot water. When the custard is very cold, beat in lightly the gelatine and the whipped cream. Line the bottom of your mould with buttered paper, the sides with sponge cake or lady-fingers fastened together with the white of an egg. Fill with the cream, put in a cold place or in summer on ice. To turn out, dip the mould for a moment in hot water. In draining the whipped cream, all that drips through can be re-whipped.

Take one quart of thin cream, sweeten and flavor; whip the cream until all in froth; then take half box of gelatine, put in as little cold water as possible to soak, and set on the stove to melt; have the gelatine cool before putting into the cream; have a dish already lined with cake or lady-fingers, pour the cream into it and set on ice until ready for use.

E. M. Walker.

Blanch one-fourth pound of rice, and boil in one quart of milk, with a little sugar and vanilla; when soft, let it cool, and then mix it with one pint of whipped cream ; oil a mould and fill with a layer of rice and preserves, or marmalade, alternately; let it stand until stiff, and then turn it out.

Fruit Blanc Mange

Mrs. T. V. Wadskier.

Stew nice fresh fruit (whatever you may please, cherries and raspberries being the best), strain off the juice, and sweeten to taste; place it over the fire in a double kettle until it boils ; while boiling, stir in corn starch wet with a little cold water, allowing two tablespoons of starch for each pint of juice ; continue stirring until sufficiently cooked, then pour into moulds wet in cold water; set them away to cool. This, eaten with cream and sugar, makes a delightful dessert.
