ORANGE CUSTARD is very nice made in the usual way, 

 using the juice of one large orange to each pint of milk. 



ORANGE ICING is made by adding to the eggs and sugar 

 the juice and grated rind of the orange. 



ORANGE CAKE is made by adding the juice and grated rind 

 to the other ingredients. Layer cake is made by beating eggs 

 and sugar together, as for frosting, and adding the juice and 

 grated rind of the orange, and spreading between the layers. 



ORANGE PUDDING. Four large oranges. Peel and cut 

 into pieces. Add one cup of sugar, and let it stand. Take

 filled with hot water, and set in the oven to brown.
