| Pare, core and quarter a
dozen large juicy apples. Stew among them the yellow peel of a large lemon
grated very fine, and stew them till tender in a very small portion of
water. When done, mash them smooth with the back of a spoon (you must have
a pint and a half of the stewed apple); mix a half cup of sugar with them
and set them away till cold.
Beat six eggs very light
and stir them gradually into a quart of rich milk alternately with the
stewed apple. Put the mixture into cups, or into a deep dish and bake it
about twenty minutes.
Send it to table cold, with
nutmeg grated over the top. |
