ples, the whites of 10 eggs, the
rind of 1 lemon, 1/2 lb. of pounded sugar.
_Mode_.--Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters, and put them into
a saucepan with the lemon-peel and sufficient water to prevent them from
burning,--rather less than 1/2 pint. When they are tender, take out the
peel, beat them to a pulp, let them cool, and stir them to the whites of
the eggs, which should be previously beaten to a strong froth. Add the
sifted sugar, and continue the whisking until the mixture becomes quite
stiff; and either heap it on a glass dish, or serve it in small glasses.
The dish may be garnished with preserved barberries, or strips of
bright-coloured jelly; and a dish of custards should be served with it,
or a jug of cream.
_Time_.--From 30 to 40 minutes to stew the apples.
_Average cost_, 1s. 6d.
_Sufficient_ to fill a moderate-sized glass dish.
_Seasonable_ from July to March.
APPLE SOUFFLE.
1402. INGREDIENTS.--6 oz. of rice, 1 quart of milk, the rind of 1/2
lemon, sugar to taste, the yolks of 4 eggs, the whites of 6, 1-1/2 oz.
of butter, 4 tablespoonfuls of apple marmalade No. 1395.
_Mode_.--Boil the milk with the lemon-peel until the former is well
flavoured; then strain it, put in the rice, and let it gradually swell
over a slow fire, adding sufficient sugar to sweeten it nicely. Then
crush the rice to a smooth pulp with the back of a wooden spoon; line
the bottom and sides of a round cake-tin with it, and put it into the
oven to set; turn it out of the tin carefully, and be careful that the
border of rice is firm in every part. Mix with the marmalade the beaten
yolks of eggs and the butter, and stir these over the fire until the
mixture thickens. Take it off the fire; to this add the whites of the
eggs, which should be previously beaten to a strong froth; stir all
together, and put it into the rice border. Bake in a moderate oven for
about 1/2 hour, or until the souffle rises very light. It should be
watched, and served instantly, or it will immediately fall after it is
taken from the oven.
_Time_.--1/2 hour.
_Average cost_, 1s. 6d.
_Sufficient_ for 4 or 5 persons.
_Seasonable_ from July to March.
