Quince Cakes Recipe

Wash some quinces, boil them in enough water to cover

them, until they are tender enough to rub through a seive; to each quart

add a pound and a half of loaf sugar, place the mixture over the fire,

and heat to the boiling point, stirring it constantly, but do not let it

boil. Oil some plates, spread the quince upon them, and dry it in the

mouth of a cool oven. Then cut it in cakes, pack it in a tin box,

between layers of white wrapping paper, when it is thoroughly cold, and

keep it in a cool, dry place. A good dishful can be made for twenty-five

cents.
