Slice green tomatoes and stew in a thick syrup of sugar and lemon
juice. Grate in the yellow rind of a lemon. When transparent, spread
evenly over the bottom of a pie-plate that has been lined with paste.
Spread strips of pastry across or cut into ornamental leaves with a
cake-cutter, place over the fruit and bake.--_Mrs. S. T._
SLICED POTATO PIE.
Steam or boil the potatoes. Slice and lay in a syrup of sugar seasoned
with whole cloves or allspice. Scald and set aside till nearly cool.
Then place the slices evenly on the bottom of a deep pie-plate lined
with crust. Put in each pie a tablespoonful of butter in bits, a
wine-glass of brandy or Madeira wine.--_Mrs. S. T._
SWEET POTATO PIE.
One pint potatoes, boiled and mashed with a teacup sweet milk, and run
through a colander. Beat separately four eggs; cream one teacup butter
with one of sugar. Beat in the yolks, then the potatoes, grate in half
a nutmeg, pour in a large wine-glass of brandy or good whiskey, and
last of all, stir in the frothed whites. Bake in deep pie plates,
lined with paste, without a top crust. Sift powdered sugar over the
pies.
Irish potato pie may be made in the same way; only adding the juice
and grated rind of a lemon.--_Mrs. T._
RHUBARB PIE.
Carefully skin the stalks, cut in pieces half an inch long. Scald in a
little rich syrup, but not long enough to become soft. Set aside, and
when nearly cool, pour into a pie plate, lined with paste. Put a
little grated lemon rind and a piece of butter the size of a walnut,
in each pie. Dredge with flour, put on a top crust and bake.--_Mrs.
T._
