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
and 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.
