SCALDING FRUIT. The best way of scalding any kind of fruit, is to do it in a stone jar on a hot iron hearth; or by putting the vessel into a saucepan of water, called a water-bath. Vinegar also is best boiled in the same manner. SCALDING PUDDING. From a pint of new milk take out enough to mix three large spoonfuls of flour into a smooth batter.
Phil laughed, for there was something ludicrous in the idea of Jimmy, who was a slight boy of seven, making away with such a large quantity, and the little boy began to see that it was a joke at his expense. The dinner went off well. All had a good appetite, and did full justice to Mrs. Hoffman's cookery. The pudding in particular was pronounced a success.
More than once he had recalled events in the roving life he and his father had led. "You remember that, don't you?" he would say. "Certainly I remember," Peter would reply heartily. "That evening on the steamer when I ate so many raisins." "Of course. And were ill." "Not ill not that time. But you said I'd make a good pudding! You remember that, don't you?" And Peter would recall it all.
"Well, Rachel, where are your congratulations?" asked the cooper of his sister, who, in subdued sorrow, was eating her second slice of pudding. "I don't see anything so very fortunate in being engaged as a porter," said Rachel, lugubriously. "I heard of a porter, once, who had a great box fall upon him and crush him; and another, who committed suicide." The cooper laughed.
The pagans will have burned it and with it the deacon you left there. He will be as thoroughly roasted as a black pudding." "My trouble is extreme," said the servant of God, drying with his sleeve the sweat that gathered upon his brow. "But tell me, Samson, my son, would not rigging this stone trough be a difficult piece of work?
I want you to grow strong. I shall give you some tonic stuff my father prescribes for people." I looked at him in horror, but he was glaring at the last piece of pudding on his fork. "Just you wait!" he said gloomily. "I will not help him in anything I think wrong," I said to myself; and a few minutes after, Mercer leaned towards me.
To make a Brown-bread Pudding: Take half a pound of brown bread, and double the weight of it in beef-suet; a quarter of a pint of cream, the blood of a fowl, a whole nutmeg, some cinnamon, a spoonful of sugar, six yolks of eggs, three whites: mix it all well together, and boil it in a wooden dish two hours. Serve it with sack and sugar, and butter melted.
It'll be a real good petticoat if I ever get it done, though it's about forty rods around the bottom, I believe." Full of good intentions, Alfaretta carefully set the burned pudding back on the stove, wherein the wood fire had nearly gone out, and sat down to her task of needlework. In reality, she was a very tired little girl. Madam was daintily neat and vigorous for a woman of her years.
"Shoot on, shoot on, good fellow," he sang out; "shoot as you have begun; if you shoot here a summer's day, your mark I will not shun!" So Robin shot, and passing well, till all his arrows were gone, when from very rage he began to revile him. "You bloody villain!" shouted he, "You psalm-singing hypocrite! You reviler of good hasty pudding!
If they are brought up to believe that a grievous sin is committed when they invent an innocent story; when they go to a theatre or to a dance, or play a game of cards; if they have never known the demands of real Christianity as put forward by the Catholic Church, is it likely that they will cleave to a faith which apparently engenders such absurdities as the Christmas pudding episode?
