Compote Of Apples Recipe

From MRS. CAROLINE E. DENNIS, of New York State, Alternate Lady
Manager-at-Large.
Three pounds of sugar, to three pounds of tomatoes; add two lemons,
peeled and sliced _very_ thin; sliver the peel into smallest bits
and add, with two inches of preserved ginger root, also cut very fine.
Put tomatoes in a kettle, mash with a spoon, mix in the sugar, lemons
and ginger, and boil slowly for _three_ hours, or until the
preserve is of the consistency of marmalade. This is a new and very
choice sweetmeat; and, so far as we know, is not to be found in any
other recipe-book.

One dozen imperial oranges (good pulp and thick yellow skin); their

fibres and seeds; put on, with the juice that drains from the oranges,

fifteen minutes, thon add the pulp and grated rind and boil twenty
