BLACKBERRY OR WHORTLEBERRY PUDDING.

Three cupfuls of flour, one cupful of molasses, half a cupful of milk, a teaspoonful of salt, a little cloves and cinnamon, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little of the milk.  Stir in a quart of huckleberries, floured.  Boil in a well-buttered mold two hours.  Serve with brandy sauce.

BAKED HUCKLEBERRY PUDDING.

One quart of ripe fresh huckleberries or blueberries, half a teaspoonful of mace or nutmeg, three eggs, well beaten, separately, two cupfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of cold butter, one cupful of sweet milk, one pint of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.  Roll the berries well in the flour and add them last of all.  Bake half an hour and serve with sauce.  There is no more delicate and delicious pudding than this.

FRUIT PUDDING.

This pudding is made without cooking and is nice prepared the day before using.

Stew currants or any small fruits, either fresh or dried, sweeten with sugar to taste and pour hot over thin slices of bread with the crust cut off, placed in a suitable dish, first a layer of bread, then the hot stewed fruit, then bread and fruit, then bread, leaving the fruit last.  Put a plate over the top and, when cool, set it on ice.  Serve with sugar and cream.

This pudding is very fine made with Boston crackers split open and placed in layers with stewed peaches.

BOILED CURRANT PUDDING.

Five cupfuls of sifted flour in which two teaspoonfuls of baking powder have been sifted, one-half a cupful of chopped suet, half a pound of currants, milk, a pinch of salt.  Wash the currants, dry them thoroughly and pick away any stalks or grit; chop the suet finely; mix all the ingredients together and moisten with sufficient milk to make the pudding into a stiff batter; tie it up in a floured cloth, put it into boiling water and boil for three hours and a half.  Serve with jelly sauce made very sweet.

TRANSPARENT PUDDING.

A small cupful of fresh butter warmed, but not melted, one cupful of sifted sugar creamed with the butter, a teaspoonful of nutmeg, grated, eight eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately.  Beat the butter and sugar light and then add the nutmeg and the beaten eggs, which should be stirred in gradually; flavor with vanilla, almond, peach or rose-water; stir hard; butter a deep dish, line with puff paste and bake half an hour.  Then make a meringue for the top and brown.  Serve cold.

SWEET-POTATO PUDDING.
