Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pint of milk
- 1/4 pint of water
- 3/4 pint of water
- 16 ripe apricots
- 8 eggs
- one way over the fire until it thickens
- 12 good-sized apricots

Directions
1405. INGREDIENTS.--12 to 16 ripe apricots, 1/4 lb. of sugar, 1-1/2 pint of milk, the yolks of 8 eggs, 1 oz. of isinglass.
_Mode_.--Divide the apricots, take out the stones, and boil them in a syrup made with 1/4 lb. of sugar and 1/4 pint of water, until they form a thin marmalade, which rub through a sieve. Boil the milk with the other 1/4 lb. of sugar, let it cool a little, then mix with it the yolks of eggs which have been previously well beaten; put this mixture into a jug, place this jug in boiling water, and stir it one way over the fire until it thickens; but on no account let it boil. Strain through a sieve, add the isinglass, previously boiled with a small quantity of water, and keep stirring it till nearly cold; then mix the cream with the apricots; stir well, put it into an oiled mould, and, if convenient, set it on ice; at any rate, in a very cool place. It should turn out on the dish without any difficulty.
_Time_.--From 20 to 30 minutes to boil the apricots.
_Average cost_, 3s. 6d.
_Sufficient_ to fill a quart mould.
_Seasonable_ in August, September, and October.
_Note_.--In winter-time, when fresh apricots are not obtainable, a little jam may be substituted for them.
FLANC OF APRICOTS, or Compote of Apricots in a Raised Crust.
_(Sweet Entremets.)_
1406. INGREDIENTS.--3/4 lb. of short crust No. 1212, from 9 to 12 good-sized apricots, 3/4 pint of water, 1/2 lb. of sugar.
_Mode_.--Make a short crust by recipe No. 1212, and line a mould with it as directed in recipe No. 1391. Boil the sugar and water together for 10 minutes; halve the apricots, take out the stones, and simmer them in the syrup until tender; watch them carefully, and take them up the moment they are done, for fear they break. Arrange them neatly in the flanc or case; boil the syrup until reduced to a jelly, pour it over the fruit, and serve either hot or cold. Greengages, plums of all kinds, peaches, &c., may be done in the same manner, as also currants, raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries, &c.; but with the last-named fruits, a little currant-juice added to them will be found an improvement.
_Time_.--Altogether, 1 hour to bake the flanc, about 10 minutes to simmer the apricots.
_Average cost_, 1s. 6d.
_Sufficient_ for 1 entremets or side-dish.
_Seasonable_ in July, August, and September.
