three eggs, the rind and juice of one lemon, and one teacup of sugar, which have been beaten together. Bake in a moderate oven forty minutes, in a deep plate, as squash pies. Cut and bake little cakes of puff paste, and when the pie is cold, gar¬ nish it with them. PIE •—One large pine-apple, pared and grated, one cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, five beaten eggs, a little nut¬ meg, some good pie-paste; cream butter and sugar. Beat in the yolks for three minutes; add pine-apple and spice; lastly, the whites. Bake in open shells of paste. Eat cold. TpUBfX^XTS Take a small pumpkin, or half of a large one, stew long and slowly, then strain it, after peeling and cutting it in small pieces. Mix with this quantity of pulp one quart of sweet milk, three eggs, and two tablespoonfuls of corn-starch mixed; first smooth with a little of the milk. Salt, sugar, and ginger must be put in to taste. A large, cup of sugar is about right; one nutmeg. The ginger is indispensable to a genuine pump¬ kin pie. If part cream can be used, the pie is much richer, as well as more delicate in flavor. Bake with an under crust only.
