Golden Pippins To Stew Recipe
Cut the finest pippins, and pare them as thin as you can. As you do
them, throw them into cold water to preserve their colour. Make a
middling thick syrup, of about half a pound of sugar to a pint of
water, and when it boils up skim it, and throw in the pippins with a bit
of lemon-peel. Keep up a brisk fire; throw the syrup over the apples as
they boil, to make them look clear. When they are done, add lemon-juice
to your taste; and when you can run a straw through them they are done
enough. Put them, without the syrup, into a bowl; cover them close, and
boil the syrup till you think it sufficiently thick: then take it off,
and throw it hot upon the pippins, keeping them always under it.
