Iced Apple Pudding à la Française.— Peel, core,
and quarter two dozen apples, and simmer them over
the fire till quite soft; then add to them one pound
apricot jam and half a pound of sugar, previously
rubbed on the peel of a Seville orange, and when it is
all well mixed sieve it, and put into the freezer.
Have ready 4oz. of stoned raisins, previously
simmered in a little syrup, 1oz. shredded citron,
2oz. blanched and shredded almonds, and a quarter of
a pint of preserved cherries drained from their
syrup. Add these to the apples and freeze it all a
little, then add a gill each of curaçoa and maraschino,
and again freeze. Lastly, add half a pint of stiffly
whipped cream, and mould it; leave it in the ice
cave for an hour or two. Serve plain, or with iced
whipped cream, slightly flavoured with liqueur.
