Fashionable Apple Dumplings

Instructions

1. These are boiled in small knitted or closely-netted cloths (the former have, we think, the prettiest effect), which give quite an ornamental appearance to an otherwise homely dish.
2. Take out the cores without dividing the apples, which should be large, and of a good boiling kind, and fill the cavities with orange or lemon marmalade.
3. Enclose them in a good crust rolled thin, draw the cloths round them, tie them closely, and boil them for three quarters of an hour.
4. Lemon dumplings may be boiled in the same way.
5. Time: 3/4 to 1 hour, if the apples be not of the best boiling kind.
