This very grotesque entremet was never a favorite of mine; any kind of
ornaments, such as cascades, ruins, arches, &c., may be made from them,
and ornamented with various fruits, but they look very heavy, and from
the apples being so much boiled and reduced become very unpalatable,
they being nothing more than apples boiled in syrup to a very firm
marmalade; I shall not here enter into the various modes of dressing it,
but substitute other entremets, which, if not so ornamental, are at any
rate much more palatable.
