Acidulated Pudding

Take the thin rind of three lemons and two Seville oranges, with a quarter of a pound of sugar: place them in a bowl with a pint of boiling water, and let them remain about an hour and a half; then remove the rinds, and add the juice of the lemons. Put three or four slices of sponge-cake into a glass dish, and strain the liquid over them; let them soak till they have absorbed the syrup, then pour over them a good custard, and strew a little pink sugar over the top. Sufficient for four or five persons. Probable cost, 1s. 2d.
