Pumpkin Pie (No. 2.)

1 quart pumpkin—stewed and strained.

1 quart milk.

1 cup sugar.

7 eggs—beaten very light.

1 teaspoonful ginger, and same of mace and cinnamon each.

Squash Pie

Is made precisely like pumpkin pie, except that, being less rich, it requires one more egg for each pie.

Sweet-Potato Pie (No. 1.)

Parboil, skin, and slice crosswise firm sweet potatoes. Line a dish with paste, put in a layer of sliced potato, sprinkle thickly with sugar, scatter among them a few whole cloves, and cover with more slices. Fill the dish in this order; put a tablespoonful of melted butter in each pie; pour in a little water; cover with crust, and bake.

Eat cold.
