| Take eight russetings, or lemon pippin apples; pare,
core, and cut not smaller than quarters; place them as close as possible together into a
pie-dish, with four cloves; rub together in a mortar some lemon-peel, with four ounces of
good moist sugar, and, if agreeable, add some quince jam; cover it with puff paste; bake
it an hour and a quarter. "…it is best to begin by weighing out the ingredients, sifting the flour, pounding and sifting the sugar and spice, washing the butter, and preparing the fruit.… spice should be pounded in a mortar, except nutmeg, which it is better to grate." |
