To make a third orange pudding.

YOU must take two large Seville oranges, and grate off the rind as far as they are yellow; then put your oranges in fair water, and let them boil till they are tender. Shift the water three or four times to take out the bitterness; when they are tender, cut them open and take away the seeds and strings, and beat the other part in a mortar, with half a pound of sugar, till it is a paste; then put to it the yolks of six eggs, three or four spoonfuls of thick cream, half a Naples biscuit grated, mix three together, and melt a pound of fresh butter very thick, and stir it well in.
