Seed the cherries first, then scald them in their own juice. Sweeten
liberally and pour into a deep pie plate lined with a rich paste.
Dredge with flour, cover with a top crust and bake. Scarlet or
short-stem cherries are best. It is necessary to scald most fruits, as
otherwise the pastry will burn before the fruit is thoroughly
done.--_Mrs. S. T._
CRANBERRY PIE.
Prepare as for sauce, stewing two pounds fruit to one pound sugar.
Pour into a pie plate lined with paste, cover with a top crust and
bake.
CURRANT PIE.
Wash and thoroughly pick the fruit. Sweeten liberally and put in a
yellow baking-dish, adding a little boiling water to melt the sugar;
let it simmer a little; then set it aside to cool. Pour into a pie
plate, covered with paste. Dredge with flour. Cover with paste and
bake.
APPLE PIE.
Put a crust in the bottom of a dish. Put on it a layer of ripe apples,
pared, cored, and sliced thin, then a layer of powdered sugar. Do this
alternately, till the dish is filled. Add a few teaspoonfuls rose
water and some cloves. Put on a crust and bake it.--_Mrs. E._
_Apple Pie._
Pare and stew the apples till thoroughly done and quite dry. Rub
through a colander and sweeten with powdered sugar. When cool add the
whites of eggs--three eggs to a pint of apples--and a teacup of cream,
whipped. Beat all the ingredients together with a patent egg-whip--one
with a wheel if convenient. Spread upon crusts of rich paste, baked in
shallow tin pie-plates. Grate nutmeg on each one and pile up three or
four deep.--_Mrs. S. T._
_Apple Pie._
Pare and slice the apples. Make a little thick syrup of white sugar,
into which throw a few cloves, allspice, or mace, as you prefer. In
this syrup, scald a few apples at a time, taking them out and putting
more in till all are slightly cooked. Set aside to cool, then pour
into deep pie plates lined with paste. Dredge with flour. Put bits of
butter over all. Dredge again. Cover with paste and bake. A glass of
brandy or wine will improve it.--_Mrs. S. T._
BLACKBERRY PIE.
Pick the berries, but do not wash them. Stew slightly, sweeten, pour
into a pie plate, lined with paste. Grate in a little nutmeg, dredge
with flour, put on a top crust and bake.
WHORTLEBERRY PIE.
Pour just enough boiling water on the fruit to prevent it from
sticking to the bottom of the preserving kettle. Boil a minute,
sweeten and pour into a pie-plate lined with paste. Dredge with flour,
cover with paste and bake.--_Mrs. S. T._
GOOSEBERRY PIE.
Put one pound sugar to one of fruit, adding just enough water to
prevent it from burning. Cook till it begins to jelly. Then spread
over shapes of rich puff paste, already baked.--_Mrs. M. C. C._
TOMATO PIE.
