Snow Balls.
PARE and take out the cores of five large baking
apples, and fill the holes with orange or quince marma
lade. Then make some good hot paste, roll your apples
in it, and make your crust of an equal thickness. Put
them in a tin dripping-pan, bake them in a moderate
oven, and when you take them out, make icing for them,
directions for which, you will find at the close of the se
cond section in the next chapter. Let your icing be
about a quarter of an inch thick, and set them at a good
distance from the fire till they are hardened; but take care
you do not let them brown. Put one in the middle of a
dish, and the others round it.
