APPLE GINGER (another way)

IMITATION OF PRESERVED GINGER.--Take four pounds of apples, weighed after they have been pared and cored, and cut them into quarters; make a syrup of two pounds of sugar boiled in one pint of water, and pour it over the fruit. Let the apples stand in this two days,then add four pounds of loaf sugar, and the chopped rind and juice of three lemons. Put into a muslin bag two ounces of bruised ginger, and half a tea-spoonful of cayenne. Let all simmer until the fruit is soft, but not broken, and the juice clear; add a glass of gin. Time to simmer, about an hour. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for four one-pound jars.
