Select blue plums or ripe green gages ; stem and stone them, and fill with them a deep pie-plate, or, better still, a shallow pudding-dish ; strew with sugar; cover with an upper crust, and after cutting several slits in the pastry to allow the steam to escape, bake in a moderate oven. When ready to serve lift the crust, lay it upside down on a large plate, turn the plums out upon the paste, and smother all with whipped cream.

This is an English recipe and fine.

STRAWBERRY PIE is very good made according to the foregoing recipe, also raspberry pie.
