Green Corn Pudding.
See Saturday, First Week in July.
Lemon Méringue Pie.
3 eggs; 1 great spoonful of butter; ¾ cup of white sugar. Juice and grated peel of 1 lemon.
Cream butter and sugar; beat in yolks and lemon, and fill one large open shell of paste, or two small ones. Beat the whites to a stiff méringue, with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and a little rose-water. When the pies are done, draw to the door of the oven, spread quickly with this mixture, and shut them in again for three minutes. Eat cold.
Third Week. Friday.
Giblet Soup.
Break up the skeletons of your roast chicken. Put bones, stuffing, and giblets into a soup-pot with four quarts of water. Boil one hour, and take out the giblets. Boil the rest an hour more; strain, cool, and skim. Then put back over the fire to simmer. Meanwhile, you should have fried an onion—sliced—in two tablespoonfuls of butter; then taking out the onion, have stirred in a great spoonful of browned flour, and cooked it, stirring incessantly five minutes. Now thin this mixture with a few spoonfuls of your soup, and strain it into the soup-kettle. Lastly, add the chopped giblets; season well, and pour out.
