Apple Custards

Mrs. C. M. Dickerman, Rockford.

Take six tart apples, pare and quarter them, put into a baking dish with one cup water; cook until tender, but not to pieces, then turn them into a pudding dish and sprinkle sugar over to cover them; beat eight eggs with sugar, and mix with them three pints of milk, a little nutmeg; turn it over the apples, and bake twenty-five minutes.

Caramel Custard

Mrs. Perry Smith.

One quart of milk, one cup of white sugar, one cup of brown sugar, two tablespoons corn starch, four eggs and a pinch of salt and vanilla. Place the milk with the white sugar and salt in a farina kettle over the fire; if you have not such a kettle, a tin pail set in a pot of hot water will answer the purpose ; beat the eggs without separating in a large bowl, and wet the corn starch with a little cold milk; put the brown sugar in a tin pan and set over the fire; stir until it is thoroughly scorched, but not burned; then turn the scalding milk on the eggs; put the mixture in the kettle again over the fire; stir in the corn starch until it thickens; lastly, stir in the scorched sugar and remove from the fire; then add a generous amount of vanilla. The scorched sugar falls into the custard in strings, but these will dissolve with vigorous stirring, after removal from the fire. Turn into custard glasses and serve cold.

Rennet Curd

Take a piece of dried rennet two inches square, wash off the salt, put it into two quarts of lukewarm milk, with a thread attached to it so that it can be easily removed; let it remian in the milk until it begins to thicken, then remove it and place the milk where it will become cold and solid. To be eaten with rich cream, sweetened and flavored to taste.

Apple Souffle

Mrs. A. N. Arnold.

Stew the apples; add a little grated lemon peel and juice; line the sides and bottom of the dish about two inches thick. Make a boiled custard with one pint of milk and two eggs; when it is cool, pour it into the center of the dish. Beat the whites of the eggs and spread it over the top; sprinkle sugar over it, and bake a few minutes in the oven.
