PUMPKIN PUDDING (another way) (Cut a pumpkin into square)

Cut a pumpkin into square pieces, and stir these over the fire in a saucepan until they become soft. If they are now found to be too moist, squeeze them in a cloth to get rid of some of the water. Then put the pulp in a stewpan with some butter, and fry it. When done, mix a spoonful of arrowroot in milk, sweetened with sugar, and simmer the whole until it becomes reduced to a proper consistency. Then let it become cold, and thicken with three eggs, beaten up with a small quantity of water. Afterwards butter the inside of a stewpan, cover it with bread-crumbs, and put the cooked pumpkin into it. Place the pan over some hot cinders, put the lid on, and throw some embers on top of it. When the pudding is browned send it to table.
