Pare, core, and quarter a dozen large juicy pippins. Strew among
them the yellow peel of a large lemon pared very thin; and stew
them till tender, in a very small portion of water. When done,
mash them smooth with the back of a spoon; (you must have a pint
and a half of the stewed apple;) mix a quarter of a pound of sugar
with them, and set them away till cold. Beat six eggs very light,
and stir them gradually into a quart of rich milk, alternately
with the stewed apple. Put the mixture into cups, or into a deep
dish, and bake it about twenty minutes. Send it to table cold,
with nutmeg grated over the top.
