Mince Pies — One pound of beef chopped fine, two pounds of apples chopped fine, one pound of currants, one pound of chopped raisins, one-half pound of citron the same of candied oranges, the grated rind and juice of two lemons, one pound of sugar, one quart of boiled cider, one-half ounce of cloves, allspice, nut- meg, and one pound of beef suet chopped. Mix all together, put over the fire and cook twenty minutes. Put in a jar to keep, let stand some days before using. Always stir when yoii take any out to use, and warm before making pies. Thin a little if needed. Cream Pies — One pint of cream, the beaten whites of two eggs, one small tablespoon of corn starch, sweeten to taste. Flavor with vanilla. Bake in one crust. Always mix the Qgg and corn starch together and then pour on the cream. You may whip the white of an Qgg and put on top if you desire. Then run in the oven and brown slightly. Pumpkin Pies — Cook the pumpkin tender, mash it through a colander. Add butter the size of an ^gg, the juice of one lemon. Then to each pint of pumpkin add one quart of milk, four eggs well beaten ; season 41 with ginger, and use a little salt. Cook slowly and well done. Another way to make pumpkin pies is to use no eggs, only make the custard thicker and pour the milk on boiling hot. Squash pies are made the same as pumpkin pies. Always sweeten to taste, all pies. Sweet Potato Pies — Boil the potatoes soft, mash through a colander. Have a pie pan lined with paste. Make the custard. To one cup of sw'eet potatoes add nearly a quart of milk, a little melted butter, four eggs beaten separately ; sweeten to taste, flavor with nutmeg
