Glazed Sweet Potatoes.
Boil soft, peel carefully, and lay in a greased dripping-pan in a good oven. As they begin to crust over, baste with a little butter, repeating this several times, as they brown. When glossy, and of a golden russet, dish.
Orange Tartlets.
2 fine oranges, juice of both, and grated peel of one; ¾ cup of sugar; 2 tablespoonfuls of butter; juice of ½ a lemon; 1 teaspoonful of corn-starch, wet up with lemon-juice and a little cold water.
Beat all to a smooth cream, and bake in small paste shells.
Third Week. Friday.
Egg Soup.
Heat all your soup-stock, adding hot water, should there not be two quarts. Cook gently half an hour; strain, pressing all the strength out of the meat; cool, skim off the fat; season; return to the fire, and when it boils, pour upon six beaten raw eggs. Put back into the soup-kettle, and stir until it begins to thicken. It must not boil. Put strips of crisp toast into the tureen, and pour on the soup.
