Welsh Custard.
- Ingredients—2 lb. of apples.
- The thin rind of a lemon.
- Juice of half a lemon.
- 3 oz. of castor sugar.
- 2 teaspoonfuls of ground ginger.
- 3 whole eggs.
- ¾ pint of water.
Method.—Wash and cut up the apples.
Stew them until tender with the sugar, lemon rind and juice, ginger, and water.
Rub them through a hair sieve (there should be about one pint of pulp if the stewing has been very gentle).
Beat the eggs, and strain them into the apple pulp.
Pour the custard into a jug.
Put it to stand in a saucepan of boiling water, and stir until it thickens, taking care that it does not curdle.
Stir occasionally while it is cooling, and serve in custard glasses or on a glass dish.
