The
juice of 6 oranges and of 1/2 a lemon, 6 eggs, 6 oz. of sugar, and 1
dessertspoonful of
cornflour. Add enough water to the fruit juices to make 1-1/2 pints of liquid.
Set this over the fire with the sugar; meanwhile smooth the cornflour with a
little cold water, and thicken the liquid with it when boiling. Set aside the saucepan,
so as to cool the contents a little. Beat up the eggs, gradually stir into them
the thickened liquid, and then proceed with the custard. This is a German sweet,
and very delicious.
