Red Currant Dumpling. — Make this pudding, and all boiled fruit puddings, according to the recipe given for beef-steak pudding (June 25th), substituting red currants, or any other fruit, with a little sugarRed Currant Dumpling and water, for the meat and gravy. If much sugar is put into the pudding it will be heavy. Boil from two hours and a quarter to two hours and three-quarters, according to the size of the pudding and the hardness of the fruit. Serve with powdered white sugar or sweet sauce. Sweet Sauces for Puddings. — A very plain sauce may be made by adding sugar to melted butter (July 17 th), while the addition of wine or brandy would turn this into Wine Sauce or Brandy Sauce. A slightly superior sauce may be made by following the recipe for melted butter, but using milk instead of water, and flavouring the sauce with nutmeg, vanilla, or lemon ; and the addition of the beaten yolk of an egg, stirred in after the sauce has cooled for a minute, would still further . enrich this sauce. A very good sauce for simple dry puddings is made by pouring half a pint of boiling water upon a dessert¬ spoonful of arrowroot mixed to a smooth paste with cold water, then adding sugar, lemon-juice, and nutmeg to taste. Cheese (June 8th). Tea. — Compote of Apricots (August 5th) ; Annie’s Cake (Sep* tember 25th). Supper. — Mayonnaise of Salmon (May 24th) ; Cherry Pie (August 7th).
