Rice Snowballs

Wash half a pound of rice, and boil it for half an hour in as much milk and water as will cover it. Drain it, and let it stand till cold. Pare six apples of equal size. Scoop out the cores without breaking the fruit, and put into the empty space a little piece of butter, a spoonful of sugar, and a little grated lemon-rind or some powdered cinnamon. Flour as many small cloths as there are apples; spread upon each one as much rice, half an inch thick, as will cover an apple, lay the apple upon it, and tie it loosely but securely. Put the puddings into boiling water, and keep them boiling until done enough. Turn out upon a dish, and serve sweet sauce, wine sauce, or custard with them. Time to boil, one hour. Probable cost, 1 1/2d. each pudding. Sufficient for six puddings.
