Apple Ginger

Boil gently together a quarter of a pound of whole ginger bruised, three pounds of sugar, a pint and a half of water, and the juice of three lemons. Bring it to the boiling point, then put in three pounds of apples, weighed after they have been pared and cored. Simmer them gently, and let them remain until the apples have become clear, but be careful that they are not broken. They must be kept in a covered jar in a dry place, and will keep good for some time. Time, three-quarters of an hour, to boil the apples. Probable cost, 1s. 8d. Sufficient for nine or ten persons.
