RECIPE

Pumpkin Pie.
Take about half a pound of pumpkin and slice it ; a hand-
full of thyme, a little rosemary, parsley, and sweet marjoram
slipped off the stalks, and chop them small ; then take
cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, and six cloves, and beat them;
next, ten eggs, which also beat ; mix and beat all together,
and put in as much sugar as you think fit ; fry it like a
" froix " ; after it is fried, let it stand till it be cold. Then fill
your pie, take sliced apples, thin roundways, and lay a row
of the "froix" and a layer of apples, with currants betwixt
the two, until your pie is filled, putting in a good deal
of sweet butter before you close it. When the pie is
baked, take six yolks of eggs, some white wine or verjuice,
and make a caudle, but not too thick, cut open the lid
and put this in, stir well together, and serve up.
