Orange Fool

Strain the juice of three Seville oranges into a basin with three well-beaten eggs. Mix them thoroughly, grate half a small nutmeg over them, and add a pint of thick cream, flavoured and sweetened with sugar which has been rubbed upon lemon-rind. Put the mixture into a jug, place it in a pan of boiling water, and stir it over the fire until it begins to thicken. Serve it in a glass dish, with a little sifted sugar strewn over it. Time, a quarter of an hour to thicken the mixture. Probable cost, 2s. 4d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
