SOUTHERN APPLE PIE

6 apples,
Grated rind and juice of one lemon,
½ cup of sugar,
1 teaspoon cinnamon,
2 macaroons rolled,
¼ teaspoon salt,
2 tablespoons butter,
2 eggs slightly beaten.

Pare and slice apples, add one-quarter cup of water; cook until soft, and rub through a sieve; add other ingredients in order given. Line a deep plate or patty tins with rich paste, fill, and bake about forty minutes. Cake crumbs may be substituted for macaroons.


CARAMEL CUSTARD

Line a pie plate with nice pastry. For one custard allow one egg well beaten, one cup of brown sugar, four teaspoonsful of milk, one tablespoonful of flour or starch and a piece of butter the size of an egg. Pour this in the crust and bake. After baking make a meringue and bake a delicate brown.


PALMETTO MARMALADE

Two quarts of fresh pears ground fine,
Two cans of grated pineapple,
Six oranges cut into small pieces,
As many cups of sugar as there are cupsful of fruit.

Put all together on to cook and cook until thick and a pretty red color.
