with half a pound flour, quarter pound butter, 2 oz. sugar. 

 Work these together without adding any water. Roll out 

 the pastry, slip it on to a flat, round tin, ornament the 

 edges with a fancy strip, or little balls of paste, and cook 

 the paste in a fairly hot oven for 45 minutes. Meantime, 

 make a stiff marmalade of Apples flavoured with cinnamon, 

 nutmeg, and sugar to taste. When the paste is cooked, 

 take it from the oven, but do not lift it from the tin till 

 cold, or it will break to pieces. When ready, lift it care- 

 fully on to a dish, ornament the edge with candied 

 Cherries, spread the Apple marmalade smoothly on it, and 

 serve.

 Apples, like Dumelow's Seedling (Wellington) or Bramley's 

 Seedling, as those with an earthy taste give unsatisfactory 

 results. 



Ingredients : 2 Ibs. Apples, 4 oz. white, moist sugar, 

 pint water, 12 sheets gelatine, i lemon. 



Melt the gelatine in half of the water. Peel and core 

 the Apples and cut them fine. Put them into a lined 

 saucepan with the sugar and the rind and juice of the 

 lemon and the rest of the water. When the Apples are 

 soft, add the gelatine, and cook for five minutes more. 

 Rub through a sieve, and then pour into a well-wetted 

 mould. This may be stuck over with split almonds, or 

 garnished with whipped cream after turning it out.
