Jam, Imitation

Cut off the yellow rind from a large fresh lemon, being careful not to take any of the white. Mince it as finely as possible, and put it with half a pint of the best treacle, the strained juice of the lemon, and a well-beaten egg into a saucepan, and boil gently for a few minutes, stirring all the time. When cold it is ready for use, and may be employed instead of jam for roly-poly puddings. If put into a jar, and the air excluded, it will remain good for some time. Probable cost, 4d. Sufficient for a pudding large enough for six or eight persons.
