What to do With the Apples.
SOME DOMESTIC RHt IPBs.


And boil them faithfully an hour or steam, if
that's your choice:
You dub the mixture Apple Duf, and eat it with
sauce.
Or roll your pastry out with care and spread it
on platter,
Lay on the apples evenly, and sugar DER them
scatter; ,..
Add spice, in kind and quantity to suit your APP
petite,
Then spread more pastry on the top and close
the edges tight.
Some people fancy with key the outor edge to
embellsh,
But with or without ornament it's safe to say
twill relish.
And this christen Apple Pie-it eats with
cream tip-top-
Tho only difficulty is, you don't know when to
stop.
Or roll your paste in little bits like biscuit only
thinner,
Wheneer you wish dainty bite to taper off
your dinner.
And hide an apple in each one of all the nu-
merous pieces.
Then with series of brisk pats obliterate the
creaseS,
I'LL round and smooth and fair they lie; then
flour the surface lightly,
Aud tie each in a separate cloth, snugly, So
curely, tightly,
And steam or boil them full an hour. perhaps a
trife over,
Then eat them with a creamy sauce-you'll
think you live in clover.
S,,o1 I
name,
And Dump!ing is the cognomen with which we
greet the same.
Again: you Danish skins and cores, again in
quarters sever:
A larger quantity this time, to last-well, not
forever,
But through the year if need require, or least
wise through cold weather.
And string them on strong thread or twine all
lovingly together;
Expose them to the sun and air for quite little
season,
And measurably to the frost for known and OBJ
vious reasons;
And as the seasons roll around, and fruit meets
swift decay,
The palate hankering after sass you'll find
Dried Apples pay
Or take sweet apples, large and fair, and, put
them in pan,
Get in, by dint of packing close, as many as you
can,
And bake them till they're brown and soft-ar
hours about the rule
Then give them opportunity they're better go
to cool;
And when you've eaten your fill, with cream,
shouldn't be surprised
To hear you say that Apples Baked were not tc
be despised.
Again: take apples not so sweet and bake then
as before,
Then tenderly remove the skins and banisl
every core;
And when they're cool, with vigorous stroke
you'll beat them smooth and fine,
Then add of sugar half cup-the granulatet
kind
Then gently break a fresh-laid egg, the yoll
put in a cup,
And to the pulp and sugar add the white, ant
beat it up.
Beat on, nor let your courage fail, until before
your eyes
The mixture white and whittier grows, increasing
still in size;
And when it holds your spoon upright and looki
like flakes of snow
Thrown up in drifts by Boreas (you ken he loves
to Blow,
You have dish called Apple Snop by some
aesthetic cooks
1 simply call it Apple Foam-and how dye like
the looks?
Have ready-made a custard soft, and eat the
two together:
Twill boost your carnal nature up till you're
Just like feather.
Again: rob apples of their skins-let stems ant
cores remain
And put them in vessel lined throughout will
porcelain;
Add sugar, in small quantity if your fruit il
saccharine;
If vice uer.a and you're not by birth and nur
ture mean,
Throw sugar in ad libitun,, regardless of by
giene;
Add water, put it on the stove, let flames around
it play,
And bring it to the boiling point, and keep
Not cooling off, not boiling up, but merely ho
and quiet
And then fain would sound it's praise, bu
epithets run riot;
I'll merely modestly assert it makes fattenint
diet;
Bat Potted Apples have obtained widespread
reputation,
And need no added words from me of praise o.
appreciation.
Again take apples in their prime, and with
knife of silver
The same material as the bow of little Dicke,
Oliver
Was forged in so the classics say; Of cours'
the tales no fiction,
Though marvellous in circumstance, extravagan
in diction-
Slice them up thin, and as you slice, on all oc
casions festive,
With alternating bits of cheese, to aid tn
powers digestive,
Eat them, with thanks and gratitude that sucl
constant sinner
Obtains permission thus to spend the moment
following dinner.
