Half a pound of the pulp of apples. Half a pound of love sugar. Six ounces of butter. The rind of one lemon. Six eggs. Puff paste. Mode. Peel, core and cut the apples, as for sauce. Put them into a stew pan with only just sufficient water to prevent them from burning. And let them stew until reduced to a pulp. Weigh the pulp and to every half pound add sifted sugar, grated lemon rind and six well beaten eggs. Beat these ingredients well together. Then melt the butter. Stir it to the other things. Put a border of puff paste round the dish and bake for rather more than half an hour. The butter should not be added until the pudding is ready for the oven. Time. One half to three quarters of an hour. Average cost. One chilling 10 pence. Sufficient for five or six persons. Seasonable from August to March. Two. More economical. 1229. Ingredients. 12 large apples. Six ounces of moist sugar. One quarter pound of butter. Four eggs. One pint of breadcrumbs. Mode. Pair, core and cut the apples as for sauce and boil them until reduced to a pulp. Then add the butter, melted and the eggs, which should be well whisked. Beat up the pudding for two or three minutes. Butter a pie dish. Put in a layer of breadcrumbs. Then the apple. And then another layer of breadcrumbs. Flake over these a few tiny pieces of butter and bake for about half an hour. Time. About half an hour. Average cost. One chilling three pence. Sufficient for five or six persons. Seasonable from August to March. Note. A very good economical pudding may be made merely with apples, boiled and sweetened, with the addition of a few strips of lemon peel. A layer of breadcrumbs should be placed above and below the apples and the pudding baked for half an hour. Constituents of the apple. All apples contain sugar, malic acid or the acid of apples, mucilage or gum, woody fiber and water, together with some aroma on which their peculiar flavor depends. The hard acid kinds are unwholesome if eaten raw, but by the process of cooking a great deal of this acid is decomposed and converted into sugar. The sweetened melokines form a valuable addition to the dessert. A great part of the acid juice is converted into sugar as the fruit ripens and even after it is gathered by natural process termed maturation. But, when apples decay, the sugar is changed into a bitter principle and the mucilage becomes moldy and offensive. Old cheese has a remarkable effect in millerating the apple when eaten, probably from the volatile alkali or ammonia of the cheese neutralizing its acid. Rich sweet apple pudding. 12.30. Ingredients. Half a pound of breadcrumbs, half a pound of suet, half a pound of currants, half a pound of apples, half a pound of moist sugar, six eggs, 12 sweet almonds, one half salt spoonful of grated nutmeg, one wine glass full of brandy. Mode. Chop the suet very fine, wash the currants, dry them, and pick away the stalks and pieces of grit. Pair, core, and chop the apple and grate the bread into fine crumbs and mince the almonds. Mix all these ingredients together, adding the sugar and nutmeg, beat up the eggs, omitting the whites of three, stir these to the pudding, and when all is well mixed, add the brandy and put the pudding into a buttered mold. Tie down with a cloth, put it into boiling water, and let it boil for three hours. Time. Three hours. Average cost. Two shillings. Sufficient for five or six persons. To preserve apples. The best mode of preserving apples is to carry them at once to the fruit room, where they should be put up on shelves, covered with white paper, after gently wiping each of the fruit. The room should be dry and well aired, but should not admit the sun, be allowed to touch each other, but should be kept separate. For this purpose, a number of shallow trays should be provided, supported by racks or stands above each other. In very cold frosty weather, means should be adopted for warming the room. Faked apple pudding. Very good. 1231. Ingredients. Five moderate-sized apples, two tablespoons full of finely chopped suet, three eggs, three tablespoons full of flour, one pint of milk, a little grated nutmeg. Mode. Mix the flour to a smooth batter with the milk. Add the eggs, which should be well whisked, and put this batter into a well-buttered pie dish. Wipe the apples clean, but do not pair them. Cut them in halves, and take out the cores. Lay them in the batter, rind uppermost. Shake the suet out on top, over which also grate a little nutmeg. Bake in a moderate oven for an hour, and cover when served with sifted love sugar. This pudding is also very good with the apples paired, sliced, and mixed with the batter. Time. One hour. Average cost. Nine pence. Sufficient for five or six persons. Boiled apple pudding. 1232. Ingredients. Crust number 1215. Apples. Sugar to taste. One small teaspoon full of finely minced lemon peel. Two tablespoons full of lemon juice. Mode. Make a butter crust by recipe number 1213, or a suet one by recipe number 1215, using for a moderate-sized pudding from three quarters to one pound of flour, with the other ingredients in proportion. Butter at basin. Line it with some of the paste, pair, core, and cut the apples into slices, and fill the basin with these. Add the sugar, the lemon peel, and juice, and cover with crust. Pinch the edges together, flour the cloth, place it over the pudding, tie it securely, and put it into plenty of fast-boiling water. Let it boil from one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half hours, according to the size. Then turn it out of the basin and send to table quickly. Apple puddings may also be boiled in a cloth without a basin, but, when made in this way, must be served without the least delay, as the crust so soon becomes heavy. Apple pudding is a very convenient dish to have when the dinner hour is rather uncertain, as it does not spoil by being boiled an extra hour. Care, however, must be taken to keep it well covered with the water all the time, and not to allow it to stop boiling. Time, from one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half hours, according to the size of the pudding and the quality of the apples. Average cost, ten pence. Sufficient, made with one pound of flour, for seven or eight persons. Seasonable from August to March, but the apples become flavorless and scarce after February. Apple tart or pie. 1233. Ingredients. Puff paste, number 1205 or 1206. Apples, to every pound of unpaired apples, allowed two ounces of moist sugar, one-and-a-half teaspoonful of finely minced lemon peel, one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Mode. Make one-and-a-half pounds of puff paste by either of the above-named recipes. Place a border of it round the edge of a pie dish and fill it with apples paired, cored and cut into slices. Sweetened with moist sugar, add the lemon peel and juice and two or three tablespoonsful of water. Cover with crust, cut it evenly round close to the edge of the pie dish and bake in a hot oven from one-and-a-half to three-quarters of an hour or rather longer, should the pie be very large. When it is three parts done, take it out of the oven, put the white of an egg on a plate and, with a blade of the knife, whisk it to a froth. Brush the pie over with this and sprinkle upon it some sifted sugar and then a few drops of water. Put the pie back into the oven and finish baking and be particularly careful that it does not catch or burn, which it is very liable to do after the crust is iced. If made with a plain crust, the icing may be omitted. Time. Half an hour before the crust is iced, ten to fifteen minutes afterwards. Average cost, nine pence. Sufficient. Allow two pounds of apples for a tart for six persons. Seasonable from August to March, but the apples become flavourless after February. Note. Many things are suggested for the flavouring of apple pie. Some say two or three tablespoons full of beer. Others the same quantity of sherry, which very much improves the taste, whilst the old-fashioned addition of a few cloves is, by many persons, preferred to anything else, as also a few slices of quince. Quinces. Quince of Corinth originally produced the most beautiful quince's, but the plant was subsequently introduced into gall with the most perfect success. The ancients preserved the fruit by placing it with its branches and leaves in a vessel filled with honey or sweet wine, which was reduced to half the quantity by evolution. Quince's may be profitably cultivated in this country as a variety with other fruit trees and may be planted in espales or as standards. A very fine-flavoured marmalade may be prepared from quince's and a small portion of quince in apple pie much improves its flavour. The French use quince's for flavouring many sauces. This fruit has a remarkable peculiarity of exhaling an agreeable odour taken singly, but when in any quantity, or when they are stowed away in a drawer or close room, pleasant aroma becomes an intolerable stench, although the fruit may be perfectly sound. It is therefore desirable that, as but a few quince's are required for keeping, they should be kept in a high and dry loft and out of the way of the rooms used by the family. Creamed apple tart. 1234. Ingredients. Puff crust number 1205 or 1206. Apples. Allow two ounces of moist sugar, one half teaspoon full of minced lemon peel, one tablespoon full of lemon juice, one half pint of boiled custard. Mode. Make an apple tart by the preceding recipe, with the exception of emitting the icing. When the tart is baked, cut out the middle of the lid or crust, leaving a border all round the dish. Fill up with a nicely made boiled custard, grate a little nutmeg over the top, and the pie is ready for table. This tart is usually eaten cold, is rather an old-fashioned dish, but at the same time extremely nice. Time, one half to three quarters of an hour. Average cost, one shilling, three pints. Sufficient for five or six persons. Seasonable from August to March. Apple snowballs. 1235. Ingredients. Two tea cups full of rice, moist sugar, cloves. Mode. Boil the rice and milk until three parts done. Then strain it off, and pair and core the apples without dividing them. Put a small quantity of sugar and a clove into each apple. Put the rice round them, and tie each ball separately in a cloth. Boil until the apples are tender, then take them up, remove the cloths, and serve. Time. Half an hour to boil the rice separately, half an hour to one hour with the apple. Seasonable from August to March. Apple tort or cake. German recipe. 1236. Ingredients. Ten or twelve apples, sugar to taste, the rind of one small lemon, three eggs, one quarter pint of cream or milk, one quarter pound of butter, three quarters of a pound of good short crust number twelve eleven, three ounces of sweet almonds. Mode. Pair, core, and cut the apples into small pieces. Put sufficient moist sugar to sweeten them into a basin. Add the lemon peel, which should be finely minced, and the cream. Stir these ingredients well, whisk the eggs, and melt the butter. Mix all together. Add the sliced apple, line a large round plate with the paste, place a narrow rim of the same round the outer edge, and lay the apples thickly in the middle. Blanch the almonds, cut them into long shreds, and strew over the top of the apples, and bake from one half to three quarters of an hour, taking care that the almonds do not get burnt. When done, strew some sifted sugar over the top, and serve. This tort may be eaten either hot or cold, and is sufficient to fill two large-sized plates. Time. One half to three quarters of an hour. Average cost. Two shillings, two pence. Sufficient for two large-sized torts. Seasonable from August to March. Apples. No fruit is so universally popular as the apple. It has grown extensively for cider, but many sorts are cultivated for the table. The apple, uncooked, is less digestible than the pear. The degree of digestibility varying according to the firmness of its texture and flavor. Very wholesome and delicious jellies, marmalades, and sweet meats are prepared from it. Entremets of apples are made in great variety. Apples, when peeled, cored, and well-cooked, are most grateful food for the dispeptic. Alma pudding. 12.37. Ingredients. One half pound of fresh butter. One half pound of powdered sugar. One half pound of flour. One quarter pound of currants. Four eggs. Mode. Beat the butter to a thick cream. Stir in, by degrees, the sugar, and mix both these well together. Then dredge the flour in gradually. Add the currants, and moisten with the eggs, which should be well beaten.

When half, scald them until they're soft and break them up with a spoon, adding a few of the kernels, which should be well pounded in a mortar. Then mix the fruit and other ingredients together, put a border of paste around the dish, fill with the mixture and bake the pudding from one half to three quarters of an hour. Time.

Bake from one half to three quarters of an hour, according to size. And if puff paste is used, glaze it about ten minutes before the pie is done and put it into the oven again to set the glaze. Short crust merely requires a little sifted sugar sprinkled over it before being sent to table. Time. One half to three quarters of an hour. Average cost in full season, one shilling. Sufficient for four or five persons. Seasonable in August, September and October. Green ones rather earlier. Note. Green apricots make very good tarts, but they should be boiled with a little sugar and water before they're covered with a crust. Apricots. The apricot is indigenous to the plains of Armenia, but is now cultivated in almost every climate, temperate or tropical. There are several varieties. This fruit has a perfumed flavor, highly esteemed. A good apricot, when perfectly ripe, is an excellent fruit. It has been somewhat condemned for its laxative qualities, but this has possibly arisen from the fruit having been eaten unripe or in too great excess. Delicate persons should not eat the apricot uncooked without a liberal allowance of powdered sugar. The apricot makes excellent jam and marmalade, and there are several foreign preparations of it, which are considered great luxuries. Faked or boiled arrowroot pudding. 1240. Ingredients. Two tablespoons full of arrowroot. One and a half pints of milk. One ounce of butter. The rind of half a lemon. Two heap tablespoons full of moist sugar. A little grated nutmeg. Mode.

To enrich this pudding, add the other ingredients just before it is put in the oven. Three well whisked eggs and add a tablespoon of brandy. For a nursery pudding, the addition of the latter ingredients will be found quite superfluous as also the paste around the edge of the dish. Time. One to one and a quarter hour baked or boiled. Average cost seven pence. Sufficient for five or six persons. Seasonable at any time. Arrowroot. In India and in the colonies, by the process of a rasping, they extract from a vegetable maranta arondinasi. A sediment nearly resembling tapioca. The grated pulp is sifted into a quantity of water from which it is afterward strained and dried and the sediment thus produced is called arrowroot. Its qualities closely resemble those of tapioca.
