Apples for Present Use

Mrs. Joseph Saulter.

Take about twenty nice snow or other good cooking apples, and wipe them clean, and place them in a preserving kettle with water enough to about half cover them; then add two cups of sugar, half a cup of vinegar, and a dessertspoonful of ground cinnamon; cover them down tightly, and let them simmer over a slow fire until the apples become soft; use when cold.
