anything to sar, say It in the presence

vanilla, maraschino, or sherry. and
finally add the whites of the eggs beaten

place for number of hours or over
night. When serving turn the mold Of
pudding out upon a dish and ncap

eandied cherries, bananas, pineapples,
and whatever fruits there are in market
and are desired. Cut them into pieces.

them lightly with sugar, and cover
them with champagne and a dash OF
