Pulp and juice of two oranges, a little of the grated peel, the yolks
of three eggs, one cupful sugar, one cupful milk. Stir the yolks with
the sugar, then a tablespoonful of butter, then the juice, lastly the
milk. Bake in a dish. After the pie has cooled, spread on it the
whites of the three eggs, stiffly frothed and sweetened. Then set it
again on the fire, to brown slightly.--_Mrs. McG._

PEACH MÉRINGUE PIE.
Pare and stew ripe peaches. When nearly done, sweeten, take from the
fire. Stir in a heaping teaspoonful fresh butter to each pie. Pour in
a deep pie-plate, lined with paste. Bake; when done, remove from the
oven and cover with the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth,
and sweetened with three tablespoonfuls powdered sugar. Set back in
the oven to brown slightly. Apple méringue pie may be made in the
same way, only flavoring the fruit.--_Mrs. S. T._
PEACH PIE.
Pare and stew a quart of peaches with a pint of sugar, stirring often;
when boiled to look nearly as thick as marmalade, take from the fire
and when nearly cool, add one tablespoonful fresh butter. Have ready
three crusts, baked in shallow tin plates. Spread and pile up the
fruit on each.--_Mrs. S. T._
_Peach Pie._
Pare and stew the peaches till nearly done. Sweeten and boil a little
longer. Set aside and when nearly cool, pour into deep pie-plates,
lined with paste. Put bits of butter over the top, dredge with flour,
then cover with a top crust, and bake.--_Mrs. T._
PRUNE PIE.
Wash the prunes through several waters. Put in a preserving kettle in
the proportion of two pounds fruit to one pound sugar. Pour a quantity
of boiling water over them and let them boil at least two hours. When
they are thoroughly done and the syrup thickens, take from the fire
and pour into tin plates, lined with paste. Add one teaspoonful of
butter. Cover with a rich paste and bake.--_Mrs. S. T._
DAMSON PIE.
Scald the damsons slightly, in just enough water to prevent burning.
Set aside till cool enough to handle. Remove the stones, sweeten well,
and put in a deep pie-plate, lined with paste. Dredge with a little
flour, cover with a top crust, and bake.--_Mrs. T._
STRAWBERRY SHORT-CAKE.
