from Mrs John Harvey Kellogg - 1880's
ZEST - scraping of the outer skin/rind of a lemon or orange
Take 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, the zest of only the rind of half a length of lemon, and 2/3 cup sugar. Beat the lemon juice and sugar together. Braid [blend] a slightly heaping tablespoon of cornstarch with as little water as possible, and pour over it, stirring constantly, one half pint of boiling water to thicken the starch. Add the zest*, lemon juice and sugar to the starch and let it cool. Then stir in the yolks of two eggs and half the white of one, well beaten together. Beat thoroughly; pour into a deep crust and bake. When done, cover with the remaining white of the eggs, beaten with one and a half tablespoons of sugar and brown lightly in the oven.
