Freeze the following compote of apples in one freezer and either of the three or four kinds or frozen pudding of the foregoing receipts in annother, and dish up a half portion in the saucer with the spoonful of apple ice in the centre.

2 or 3 ripe, mellow apples.

6 tablespoons sugar.

1 1/2 cups water.

1/2 a lemon.

Put on the sugar and 1/2 cup water to boil, and pare and cut the apples in small pieces of even size. Put into the boiling syrup a piece of the lemon rind shaved off thin and more or less of the lemon juice, and then stew the pieces of apple in it, taking them out before they get too well done. Set the pieces on ice. Add the remaining cup of water to the syrup, strain and freeze - it makes a whitish sort of ice - and add the apples to it at last and cover down with more ice and salt to finish the freezing.

Cost - About the came per quart as the rice pudding.
