_Ingredients._—Green gooseberries; to every pint of pulp add 1 pint
of milk, or ½ pint of cream and ½ pint of milk; sugar to taste.
_Mode._—Cut the tops and tails off the gooseberries, put them into a
jar with 2 tablespoonfuls of water and a little good moist sugar; set
this jar in a saucepan of boiling water, and let it boil until the
fruit is soft enough to mash. When done enough, beat it to a pulp,
work this pulp through a colander, and stir to every pint the above
proportion of milk, or equal quantities of milk and cream. Ascertain if
the mixture is sweet enough, and put in plenty of sugar, or it will not
be eatable; and in mixing the milk and gooseberries add the former very
gradually to these: serve in a glass dish, or in small glasses. This,
although a very old-fashioned and homely dish, is, when well made, very
delicious, and, if properly sweetened, a very suitable preparation for
children. _Time._—From ¾ to 1 hour. _Average cost,_ 6_d._ per pint,
with milk. _Sufficient._—A pint of milk and a pint of gooseberry pulp
for 5 or 6 children. _Seasonable_ in May and June.
