Seite 345 - ... but take care it does not boil over. In a quarter of an hour strain it off; and add salt and a bit of butter when eaten.
Seite 352 - A far more wholesome way than in pies or puddings, is to put apples sliced, or plums, currants, gooseberries, &c., into a stone jar, and sprinkle among them as much sugar as necessary. Set the jar in an oven or on a hearth, with a tea-cupful of water to prevent the fruit from burning ; or put the jar into a saucepan of water until its contents be perfectly done. Slices of bread or some rice may be put into the jar, to eat with the fruit.
