Tomato Pie (another
way).—Proceed as in making an ordinary potato pie. Add
a small bottle of tomato conserve, cover with paste, and bake
in the ordinary way.
Potato Pie.—Peel and
slice up some potatoes as thin as possible. At the same time
slice up some onions. If Spanish onions are used allow equal
quantities of potatoes and onions, but if ordinary onions
are used allow only half this quantity. Place a layer of
sliced onion and sliced potato alternately. Add some pepper,
salt, and sufficient butter to moisten the potato and butter
before any water is added. Pour in some water and add a
teaspoonful of chopped parsley, cover the pie with paste,
and bake in the ordinary way.
Potato Pie (another
way).—Butter a shallow pie-dish rather thickly. Line
the edges with a good crust, and then fill the pie with mashed
potatoes seasoned with pepper, salt, and grated nutmeg. Lay
over them some small lumps of butter, hard-boiled
eggs, blanched almonds, sliced dates, sliced lemon and
candied peel. Cover the dish with pastry and bake the pie in
a well-heated oven for half an hour or more, according to
the size of the pie.
Pumpkin Pie.—Peel a ripe
pumpkin and chip off the rind or skin, halve it, and take
out the seed and fluffy part in the centre, which throw
away. Cut the pumpkin into small, thin slices, fill a
pie-dish therewith, add to it half a teaspoonful of allspice
and a tablespoonful of sugar, with a small quantity of
water. Cover with a nice light paste and bake in the
ordinary way. Pumpkin pie is greatly unproved by being eaten
with Devonshire cream and sugar. An equal quantity of apples
with the pumpkin will make a still more delicious pie.
Pumpkin
Pudding.—Take a large pumpkin, pare it, and remove
the seeds. Cut half of it into thin slices, and boil these
gently in water until they are quite soft, then rub them
through a fine sieve with the back of a wooden spoon.
Measure the pulp, and with each pint put four ounces of
butter and a large nutmeg, grated. Stir the mixture briskly
for a minute or two, then add the third of a pint of hot
milk and four well-beaten eggs. Pour the pudding into a
buttered dish, and bake in a moderate oven for about an
hour. Sugar may be added to taste.

Cheesecake.—(See CHEESECAKES.)
