Peasant's Pudding

Butter a moderate-sized pie-dish, and fill it with alternate layers of fruit and thin slices of bread or grated bread-crumbs. Add sugar according to the acidity of the fruit, and if it is not a juicy kind, pour half a cupful of cold water, or a little lemon-juice, over the pudding. Red and white currants, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries will not require any water to moisten them. The first layer in the dish should consist of bread, and the last of fruit. Bake in a well-heated oven for half an hour. Probable cost uncertain, varying, of course, with the fruit. This is an inexpensive and wholesome pudding. Sufficient for five or six persons.
