little sugar sifted from a fine sieve after it is all beaten 

 lightly and well mixed, and baked in a puff-paste, makes 

 a very nice pudding.

APPLE OR CAROLINA SNOWBALLS. 



Take the core out of as many large Pippins as you may 

 wish to make snowballs, and fill the centres of the apples 

 with orange and lemon peel cut very fine ; put two spoonfuls 

 of rice in a cloth which will cover the apple, putting the rice 

 all around the apple. Tie the cloth, and boil them an hour. 

 Make a sweet, rich sauce of butter, wine, and loaf-sugar to 

 eat with them. 



APPLE TEA OR WATER. 



Slice large Pippins into thin bits, and cut a little of the 

 peel of a fresh lemon on to them, put them into a pitcher, 

 and pour over them some boiling water. Let it stand, cov- 

 ered closely, near the fire, for several hours. Pour it into 

 glasses, and sweeten it with loaf-sugar. It" is a grateful and 

 cooling drink for invalids. 



APPLES BAKED. 



Apples baked in a tin roaster, with a little West India 

 molasses or sugar-house sirup poured over them, and eaten 

 with cream or rich milk, are very nice. A rich-flavored, 

 sweet apple is to be preferred for this dish.
