Cherry or Plum Pie

Wash the fruit, remove the stones, and make the pie in the same manner as berry pie.

Pumpkin Pie

11⁄2 cups cooked pumpkin

1 cup boiling milk

1 egg

1⁄2 cup sugar

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

1⁄3 teaspoon cinnamon

Cook the pumpkin as directed on page 152. Put it into a cloth and press it with the back of a strong spoon to squeeze out the water. Mix all the ingredients, put it into a pan set over a cooker-pail of boiling water; stir it until it is 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then put the whole into a cooker for one hour. Fill the baked crust with the mixture. Cover the top thickly with whipped cream.
