Mashed Squash.
Receipt given last Sunday.
Cherry Roley-Poley.
1 quart of flour—Hecker’s prepared.
1 heaping tablespoonful of lard, and the same of butter.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
2 cups of milk.
2 cups of stoned cherries.
1 cup of sugar.
Make a soft paste of flour, with the shortening chopped into it, and the milk. Roll out, a quarter of an inch thick, into an oblong sheet. Cover this with cherries; sprinkle with sugar, and roll up closely upon the fruit. In spreading the cherries, leave a narrow margin on both sides of the sheet. Baste the roll up in a bag floured well on the inside, and make a “felled” seam at the open end to keep out the water. Fit it exactly, but not tightly, to the shape of the pudding. Plunge into a pot of boiling water and keep it at a steady boil for one hour and a half. Dip the bag into cold water, rip the stitches, and turn out upon a hot dish. Eat with hard sauce.
