Eves Pudding.
If you like a good pudding pray mind what you are taught
Take 2 pennyworth of Eggs when you've 12 for a groat
Take of the same fruit that Eve did once Cozen
When pared & well Chopt at least half a Dozen
Six oz of Bread let your maid eat the Crust
The Crumb must be grated as small as the Dust
Six oz of Currants from the Stones you must sort
Lest they break your poor Tooth & spoil all your sport
Five oz. of sugar won't make it too sweet
some salt & some Nutmeg to make it Compleat
Three Hours let it boil without hurry or flutter
And then serve it up with good melted Butter
Eve made this Pudding so wonderous nice
That Adam cried out pray give me a slice
Milk Punch
Pare one Dozen of Lemmons, one of Oranges thin  Steep the Peels in four Gallons of the best Rum 24 hours put 12 lb of the finest loaf sugar into six Gallons of Water with the Whites of 12 Eggs beat to a froth. Boil & scum it well when quite Cold mix it all in a Vessel add two quarts of New Milk put it into a Barrel shake it well stop it up close let it stand 2 Months. The Barrel should be quite Dry fix in the Cock & the Barrel when it is first made that it may not be shook when perfectly Clear drain it off it must not be Corked till the next Day. The best season to make it is February or March
