Apple Jelly
Make a syrup of a pound of sugar, in sufficient water to dissolve it; when boiled enough, lay in it the peeled and cored halves of some large sour apples, let them simmer until tender, then lay them carefully in a dish, (or in small dishes) so that they will remain unbroken and in good shape; add another pound of sugar to the syrup, let it boil; skim it and when partly cool pour it over the apples; when they become cold, each piece of apple will be surrounded by a delicious jelly; eat with sweetened cream.
