Peach Pudding No. 1

Butter a baking dish, slice into it enough peeled peaches to nearly fill it and add four tablespoonfuls boiling water. Sift together two cupfuls pastry flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and five teaspoonfuls of baking powder; rub in a quarter of a cupful of shortening, moisten with sweet milk to make a soft dough, spread it over the fruit and bake until well browned. Serve with cream and sugar.

Peach Pudding No. 2

Cover the bottom of a pudding dish with canned peaches. Take half the juice from the can, add to it two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and boil it to a thick syrup.

Make a custard, using two cupfuls of milk, the yolks of two eggs, and a heaping tablespoonful of cornstarch. Cook in a double boiler for half an hour, then add a little of the peach syrup to sweeten it, and a few drops of almond extract. Sprinkle the peaches with blanched almonds, cut in small pieces, pour over them the syrup, then the custard. Cover the top with meringue made of the whites of two eggs and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Brown the meringue. Serve the pudding hot or cold.

Peach Pudding No. 3

Drain one can peaches. Put syrup in saucepan and add one-third cupful sugar and a few grains salt. Bring to the boiling point and let simmer until syrup is quite thick. Chill syrup as well as peaches. Arrange halves of peaches, cavity side up, in shallow baking dish, and in each cavity put a marshmallow (using an inexpensive kind which melts more rapidly). Place in a hot oven and let stand until the marshmallows soften, five minutes being required, by which time the chilled peaches will not be heated through. Arrange on a serving-dish, pour syrup around, and serve with thin cream.
