February 19th : APPLE DUMPLINGS
Select the large russet -coat fruit, pare and cut them in half, take out the cores, and fill the cavities with quince marmalade, and a couple of cloves to each.
Surround the apples with paste equally distributed; tie up in cloths; boil for fifty minutes, or an hour, if your dumplings are large. Have melted butter and powdered sugar ready to serve with them .
