Baked Pears
These need not be of a fine sort; but some taste better than others, and often those that are least fit to eat raw. Wipe, but do not pare, and lay them on tin plates, and bake them in a slow oven. When baked enough to bear it, flatten them with a silver spoon. When done through, put them on a dish.
Apples in the same way are excellent, and serve for desserts.
