Dried-Peach Pudding

Cut in small pieces one pint of dried peaches, wash them, and boil in just enough water to cover them. When they are tender, add two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, and boil a few minutes longer, and then they will resemble cooked raisins. Make a stiff batter of three eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, one teacupful of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of soda and two of cream of tartar, sifted in a quart of flour. You may not have to use all the flour-just enough to make a stiff batter. Stir your peaches in the batter and bake in a buttered pan, and you will have a delicious pudding, which no one can tell from one made of raisins. Any other dried fruit may be used in the same way. Serve with butter sauce
