Snow Pudding with Preserved Strawberries Make a snow pudding with the whites of three eggs, one quart of sweet milk, a little salt, two tablespoons of cornstarch. Cook until like thick custard and then pour into moulds and stand in a cool place to harden. With the yolks of the eggs, one pint of milk, one and one-half tablespoons of cornstarch, one-half cup of sugar(three-quarters if you like things sweet), a pinch of salt and a few drops of vanilla, make a custard sauce. Put in a cold place. When ready to serve place each mould of pudding in an individual glass dish (punch cups are pretty), pour some of the custard over and last of all a large tablespoon of preserved strawberries. Juice and all should be poured over the top of both custard and pudding. Serve with a rich unfrosted cake. Fig Compote One pound figs, cover with one pint cold water; soak five or six hours; then add two bay leaves and cook for one hour; strain gently, boil syrup down to one cup, and pour over figs; serve cold with sweetened whipped cream. Chilled Rice Meringue One cup boiled rice, one pint milk, two eggs, one cup sugar, one lemon; boil the milk, stir in the rice, yolks of the eggs and sugar; cook thick as a soft custard; take from fire, grate in rind of lemon; pour in buttered dish; beat whites of eggs, add lemon juice and a little sugar; pour over pudding, and brown.
