_Ingredients._—¼ lb. of butter, 1 lb. of loaf sugar, 6 eggs, the rind
of 2 lemons and the juice of 3. _Mode._—Put all the ingredients into
a stewpan, carefully grating the lemon-rind and straining the juice.
Keep stirring the mixture over the fire until the sugar is dissolved,
and it begins to thicken: when of the consistency of honey, it is done;
then put it into small jars, and keep in a dry place. This mixture
will remain good 3 or 4 months. When made into cheesecakes, add a few
pounded almonds, or candied peel, or grated sweet biscuit; line some
patty-pans with good puff-paste, rather more than half fill them with
the mixture, and bake for about ¼ hour in a good brisk oven. _Time._—¼
hour. _Average cost_, 1_s._ 4_d._ _Sufficient_ for 24 cheesecakes.
_Seasonable_ at any time.
