Oranges and Apples, Compote Of

Take half a dozen fine sweet apples and three oranges. Rub the skins well with a soft cloth, and cut them across in very thin round slices. Arrange the pieces alternately in a circle in a glass dish, with one piece half over the other, and pour over them a syrup made according to the directions given in a succeeding recipe (see ORANGES, COMPOTE OF). Serve when cold. Time, five or ten minutes to boil the syrup. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for half a dozen persons.
