Cocoanut Pie Recipe

Cut off the brown part of the cocoanut--grate the white part, and mix it

with milk, and set it on the fire, and let it boil slowly eight or ten

minutes. To a pound of the grated cocoanut allow a quart of milk, eight

eggs, four table-spoonsful of sifted white sugar, a glass of wine, a

small cracker, pounded fine, two table-spoonsful of melted butter, and

half a nutmeg. The eggs and sugar should be beaten together to a froth,

then the wine stirred in. Put them into the milk and cocoanut, which

should be first allowed to get quite cool--add the cracker and

nutmeg--turn the whole into deep pie plates, with a lining and rim of

puff paste. Bake them as soon as turned into the plates.
