Stewed Fruit
Fruit should be stewed in plenty of well-sweetened water until tender, care being taken to keep it whole. When tender remove the[Pg 29] fruit from the saucepan. Place it in the dish in which it is to be served. To the juice add a little thin lemon peel, a few drops of lemon juice, more sugar if required, and, if liked, a glass of white wine. Set again on a quick fire and reduce until thick. Strain this over the fruit and serve when cold.
