September 21st : MARROW PUDDING
Blanch eight ounces of sweet almonds, and beat them up in a mortar with a table -spoonful of rose-water, chop up six ounces of candied orange and citron, beat up yolks of half a dozen eggs, and add a glass of sherry or Madeira to them, shred very fine a pound of beef marrow free from the minute bones, wash and pick half a pound of currants, grate up the crumb of a French roll; these things done, boil a quart of cream, and whilst it is quite hot stir in the ingredients, mixing all welltogether. Rub the sides of a pie-dish with butter, put in the above materials, and bake for half an hour; before serving, strew powdered sugar over the top.
