It has been a calm, warm, sunny day, the sea slumbering against the shores, and now and then breaking into white foam. The surface of the island is plentifully overgrown with whortleberry and bayberry bushes. The sheep cut down the former, so that few berries are produced; the latter gives a pleasant fragrance when pressed in the hand.
Boil all together a few moments until quite smooth; set it aside and when cool pour it into the pie through the slit in the crust. Serve it cold with powdered sugar sifted over it. Raspberry, blackberry and whortleberry may be made the same. Top and tail the gooseberries. Put into a porcelain kettle with enough water to prevent burning and stew slowly until they break.
