Ingredients

  • 1/2 pint of water
  • 6 ripe apples
  • 1 lemon
  • 5 persons

Directions

1

_(Soyer's Recipe,--a Dessert Dish.)_

2

1515. INGREDIENTS.--6 ripe apples, 1 lemon, 1/2 lb. of lump sugar, 1/2 pint of water.

3

_Mode_.--Select the apples of a moderate size, peel them, cut them in halves, remove the cores, and rub each piece over with a little lemon. Put the sugar and water together into a lined saucepan, and let them boil until forming a thickish syrup, when lay in the apples with the rind of the lemon cut thin, and the juice of the same. Let the apples simmer till tender; then take them out very carefully, drain them on a sieve, and reduce the syrup by boiling it quickly for a few minutes. When both are cold, arrange the apples neatly on a glass dish, pour over the syrup, and garnish with strips of green angelica or candied citron. Smaller apples may be dressed in the same manner: they should not be divided in half, but peeled and the cores pushed out with a vegetable-cutter.

4

_Time_.--10 minutes to boil the sugar and water together; from 15 to 25 minutes to simmer the apples.

5

_Average cost_, 6d.

6

_Sufficient_ for 4 or 5 persons. _Seasonable_ from July to March.
