Gateau of Mixed Fruits

Put one pound of small green apples, pared and cored, into a saucepan, with a little water to prevent burning. Boil until the apples are reduced to pulp, then add their weight in sugar, and boil for a few minutes longer. Pour in half a pint of red currant juice, and half a pint of raspberry, or any other fruit juice that may be liked and at hand. A little isinglass or gelatine may be added, to assist in stiffening. Pour the gateau into a damped mould, and serve in a glass dish with custard. Time, nearly one hour. Probable cost, 10d. Sufficient for a pint mould.
