Poor Curate's Pudding

Grease a pie-dish, cut some stalks of rhubarb into small pieces and lay them in the dish; strew thickly with moist sugar, some thin strips of lemon-rind and a few drops of the juice. Over this strew a thick layer of bits of broken-up bread and scraps of butter; continue in the same way until the dish is full, spreading on the top a thick layer of sugar and some bits of butter. Bake for an hour and a half, and then stand in front of the fire to brown. Slices of bread and butter may be used instead of bread scraps if preferred.
