Butter well a pudding - mold four inches high, containing one quart, line the interior with half a pound of dumpling-batter (No. 1125). Put into a vessel four ounces of stoned cherries, three ounces of stoned plums, and three ounces of stoned apricots ; sift four ounces of powdered sugar over, mix well, and pour it into the mold. Have half a pint of water in a saucepan with six ounces of granulated sugar, place it on the stove, and let boil for five minutes, then fill up the mold with this syrup, and lay it in a baking-pan in a very hot oven for thirty minutes. Remove, and keep it in a warm place.
