Traditional Recipes and Ideas for Meals

One-half pint of stewed pumpkin, one pint of hot milk, one cup of brown sugar, one egg, one large tablespoonful of flour, one-half large tablespoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of ginger, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla.

Stew pumpkin as for pie; spread upon plates, and dry in the oven carefully. When you wish to make pie, soak over night; then proceed as you would with fresh pumpkin. Pumpkin prepared in this way will keep well until spring, and pies are as good as when made with fresh pumpkin.

STEWED RICE.

Take one-half cup of rice; wash it twice; cover with water two inches above rice; cook dry; then cover with a cup or more of milk; add butter the size of a walnut, and salt to taste. When cooked dry again, serve hot with cream and sugar.
