Apple Cup

Core six tart apples and cut in quarters but do not peel. Mix with one cup of raisins, two bay leaves, a small piece of cinnamon, and the grated rind of three lemons. Put in a porcelain-lined kettle with two quarts of water and let come to a boil, then add two more quarts of water, and boil slowly, covered, for half an hour. Drain through a jelly bag. When cold add two pounds of sugar and the strained juice of three lemons. Stir until sugar is dissolved, and serve very cold.
