6 apples
30 cloves
2 cups water
²⁄₃ cup sugar
6 slices lemon
Pare the apples, remove the cores and stick five whole cloves into each
apple. Make a syrup of the water and sugar. Put the apples into a
pudding dish, pour the syrup over them, and place a slice of lemon over
the top of each. Bake them in a slow insulated oven for one hour with
the stones heated until the paper test shows a light brown.
