MOLASSES PIE
Four eggs, one cup sugar, two cups molasses. Boil sugar and molasses two minutes, then pour off into another cup sugar. Flavor with spice, cloves, cinnamon and butter. Bake thin crust.
RASPBERRY PIE
Take two boxes of red raspberries, mash and add about 1 cupful of powdered sugar. Let stand at least 2 hours in ice box, then put through cheese cloth, add about ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 cup water, juice of ½ lemon and small bottle of cream. Freeze. This mixture makes about a good quart.
Grate the rind of the lemons into a bowl, and squeeze in the juice. Make a boiling syrup of the sugar and half the water and pour it hot on the lemon zest, and juice, and let it remain until cold; then add the rest of the water. Strain the lemonade into a freezer and freeze as usual and at last add the whites whipped to a firm froth, beat, and freeze again. The scalding draws the flavor from the lemons. It should never be boiled and fewer lemons used when they are very large. This ice is perfectly white.
APPLE MERINGUE PIE
Pare, slice, stew and sweeten ripe, tart and juicy apples, mash and season with nutmeg (or lemon peel), fill crust and bake till done; spread over the apple a thick meringue made by whipping to froth whites of three eggs for each pie, sweetening with three tablespoonfuls powdered sugar; flavor with vanilla, beat well, and cover pie three-quarters of an inch thick. Set back in a quick oven till well “set,” and eat cold. In their season substitute peaches for apples.
CUSTARD PIE
Six eggs, one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of butter, six tablespoonfuls of corn starch or Gold Medal Flour and three cups of milk; flavor to taste. This is sufficient for three pies; bake with one crust only.
