Orange Pudding (III)

Mrs. S. F. McMaster.

Peel and cut five good sweet juicy oranges into thin slices, taking out all the seeds; pour over them a coffee cup of white sugar. Let a pint of milk get boiling hot by setting in boiling water; add the yolks of three eggs well beaten, one tablespoon corn starch made smooth in a little cold milk; stir all the time, and as soon as thickened pour over the fruit. Beat the whites to a stiff froth; add a teaspoon sugar and spread it on for frosting; set it in the oven a few minutes to harden. Substitute any fruit if you prefer; peaches are nice done this way.
