Women -- Health and hygiene
Pare and slice five large oranges, removing seeds. Lay in a deep dish
and sprinkle with half cup sugar; let them stand two hours. Make
a custard of one pint milk, yolks of three eggs, two table-spoons
corn-starch. When cool, pour over oranges. Beat the whites with two
table-spoons of powdered sugar and place on the top; brown quickly in
the oven.
CORN MUSH PUDDING.
One quart milk, one pint corn mush (page 296), two-thirds cup molasses,
one tea-spoon cinnamon. Bake four hours.
BAKED INDIAN PUDDING.
Boil one quart of milk, stir in seven table-spoons meal. Take from the
stove, add one quart cold milk, one cup molasses, one tea-spoon ground
mace. Bake in an earthen pudding dish five hours. Double the recipe
makes a better pudding, and it is good cold.
MOTHER’S APPLE PUDDING.
One pint rolled bread crumbs; two pints of tart apples, chopped; one
cup seedless raisins, half a cup sugar. Place in layers in an earthen
pudding dish; add one cup water; bake slowly two hours. Requires no
sauce. Peaches, cherries, plums, etc., can be used in place of apples,
and also stewed dried fruits.
HUCKLEBERRY BREAD PUDDING.
Heat one quart milk and pour it over one pint dry graham bread crumbs;
cool; add two beaten yolks, three table-spoons sugar, two well-whipped
whites. Stir in one pint huckleberries, dredged with flour, bake
in a pudding dish, set in a pan of boiling water forty or fifty
minutes.--_Hygienic Cookery._
PLUM PUDDING.
One cup seedless raisins, one cup currants, one quart chopped apples,
one cup sugar, one cup graham flour mixed in a pint of water. Mix all
together, and bake five or six hours.
STRAWBERRY DESSERT.
Place alternate layers of hot cooked cracked wheat and strawberries in
a deep dish; when cold, turn out on platter; cut in slices and serve
with cream and sugar, or strawberry juice. Wet the moulds with cold
water before using. This, moulded in small cups, makes a dainty dish
for the sick. Wheatlet can be used in the same way.
PIES.
A very palatable pie crust can be made of sweet cream and graham or
entire wheat flour. Should be worked soft, made thin, and baked in
a hot oven. Eaten the day it is baked. In a dietetic point of view
there is little objection to this crust. Any acid fruit can be used
for the filling. A crust of fine flour and lard does not make suitable
nutriment for sick or well.
PIE FOR DYSPEPTICS.
Four table-spoons of oatmeal, one pint of water; let stand for a few
hours, or till the meal is swelled. Then add two large apples, pared
and sliced, a little salt, one cup of sugar, one table-spoon flour. Mix
all well together and bake in a buttered dish; makes a most delicious
pie, which can be eaten with safety by the sick or well.--_Dr.
Holbrook._
