Prune Pie Recipe. (Chicopee, Mass., Recipe)

3/4 pound of prunes. The juice of half a lemon. 1/2 cup of sugar. 1/4 teaspoonful of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 2 tablespoonfuls of flour.

Let the prunes soak in cold water over night; stew until tender, let cool, and remove the stones. Arrange them in the crust, add the sugar, butter, lemon juice, salt, flour, and juice from the prunes, which should have been reduced in cooking the prunes. Three fourths cup of sugar is better.

Green Tomato Pie Recipe

Slice the tomatoes into the under crust, add the other ingredients, cover with paste and cook as an apple pie.

Orange Pie Recipe. (Mrs. Col. Dimon)

Cream one fourth cup of butter; add three fourths cup of sugar, the juice of an orange and half the grated rind, together with the juice of half a lemon; beat until light, then add the beaten yolks of three eggs and the white of one, beaten until light. Bake with one crust. When partly cooled cover with a meringue made of the stiff-beaten whites of two eggs, to which three level tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar have been added gradually, and then two tablespoonfuls of sugar folded in. Brown delicately in the oven.

Custard Pie Recipe

Beat four eggs until a spoonful can be held; add half a teaspoonful of salt and two thirds cup of sugar, beat again and when well mixed beat in two cups and a half of milk. Turn into a deep plate, lined with pastry as for pumpkin pie. Bake in a slow oven until the custard is firm in the centre.

Fig Pie Recipe

Cook half a pound of figs, cooked and chopped fine, with the water in which they were cooked, reduced to half a cup, and half a cup of cider, until smooth; turn into a plate lined with pastry; when baked cover with a meringue and return to the oven to cook the meringue. Boiled cider or lemon juice may be used instead of the uncooked cider. A little sugar may be required in some cases.

Date Pie Recipe

Remove the seeds from the dates; stew in a small quantity of water until soft enough to strain through a colander. To one cup and a half of date pulp, add one egg, beaten slightly, a scant half teaspoonful, each, of salt and cinnamon, and one cup and a half of milk. Bake with an under crust only.
