Boil one pound of rice, previously well washed in two quarts of new
milk, till it is much reduced, quite tender, and thick; beat it in a
mortar, with a quarter of a pound of almonds blanched, putting it to
them by degrees as you beat them. Boil two quarts of cream with two or
three blades of mace; mix it light with nine eggs--only five
whites--well beat, and a little rose-water; sweeten it to your taste.
Cut some candied orange and citron very thin, and lay it in. Bake it in
a slow oven.
