Apple and Indian Pudding.

1 gill of molasses.

1 quart of milk.

1 gill of Indian meal.

1 tablespoonful of butter.

1/2 teaspoonful of salt.

1 pint of pared and quartered apples.

1/4 of a nutmeg, grated.

Have the milk boiling, and pour it gradually upon the meal, stirring all the while. Turn into the double-boiler, and cook for an hour, stirring often. Now add the molasses, butter, salt, and nutmeg, and beat well. Stir in the apples, turn into a buttered pudding dish, and cook in a slow oven for two hours and a half. The apples may be sour or sweet, but sweet are the better. Serve with cream or with hard sauce.
