The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
October 19th : APPLE SAUCE
Peel off the rinds and cut the cores out of four baking apples, divide each into four pieces, put them into a saucepan with half a tumbler full of cold water, and a table-spoonful of lemon peel chopped small, close to the fire, but not on it, for an hour and a half, longer if you do not find that you can easily beat the apples into a pulp; when this can be done, put in an ounce of butter, and a dessert-spoonful of fine Lisbon sugar.
