Boil gently until smooth and thick, stirring until done. Pour into glass dish, or custard cups. To be eaten cold with sweetened whipped cream, heaped upon it. From MRS. ALICE HOUGHTON, of Washington, Lady Manager.
Boil the strained juice of two lemons and the grated peel of one with a cup of sugar and one glass of white wine or water.
