Stewed Golden Pippins
Scoop out the core; pare them very thin; and as you do it, throw them in water. For every pound of fruit make half a pound of single refined sugar into syrup, with a pint of water. When skimmed, put the pippins in, and stew till clear; then grate lemon over, and serve in the syrup. Be careful not to let them break.
They are an elegant and good dish for a corner or dessert.
