Marrow Pudding.
Boil two quarts of cream with a little mace and nutmeg; beat very light ten eggs, leaving out half the whites; put the cream[317] scalding to the eggs, and beat it well. Butter lightly the dish you bake it in; then slice some French roll, and lay a layer at the bottom; put on it lumps of marrow; then sprinkle on some currants and fine chopped raisins, then another layer of thin sliced bread, then marrow again, with the currants and raisins as before. When the dish is thus filled, pour over the whole the cream and eggs, which must be sweetened a little. An oven that will bake a custard will be hot enough for this pudding. Strew on the marrow a little powdered cinnamon.
Another way.
Boil up a pint of cream, then take it off; slice two penny loaves thin, and put them into the cream, with a quarter of a pound of fresh butter, stirring it till melted. Then put into it a quarter of a pound of almonds beaten well and small, with rose-water, the marrow of three marrow-bones, and the whites of five eggs, and two yolks. Season it with mace shred small, and sweeten with a quarter of a pound of sugar. Make up your pudding. The marrow should first be laid in water to take out the blood.
