Original Text
To make GREEN CAPS. TAKE codlings just before they are ripe, green them as you would for preserving, then rub them over with a little oiled butter, grate double refined sugar over them, and set them in the oven till they look bright, and sparkle like frost, then take them out, and put them into a deep china dish, make a very fine custard, and pour it round them; stick single flowers in every apple and serve them up.—It is a pretty corner dish for either dinner or supper.
