Apple Fool
2 lbs. of apples,
1/2 lb. of dates,
3/4 pint of milk,
1/4 pint of cream,
6 cloves tied in muslin,
a little sugar.
Pare, core, and cut up the apples, stone the dates, and
gently stew the fruit with a teacupful of water and the cloves
until quite tender; when sufficiently cooked, remove the
cloves, and rub the fruit through a sieve; gradually mix in the
milk, which should be boiling, then the cream; serve cold with
sponge-cake fingers.
