MISS BELKNAP

Take the fairest pippins, peel them and cut them in slices, without taking the cores out. Take the same weight of white sugar, and put to it just water enough to dissolve it, (not more than a gill to a pound.) When dissolved, put it over a gentle fire, let it come to a boil, and skim it. Then add the sliced apples, with two or three lemons sliced thin. When they look transparent, take them up in a glass dish. Give the sirup one more boil, and when a little cooled, pour it over. It will form a jelly about the apples. These may be done whenever they are wanted.
