Raisins (A French Marmalade)

Ingredients

• 6 fine large cooking apples
• 1 wine-glass of Madeira wine
• 1/2 pound of sugar
• 2 1/2 pounds of raisins

Instructions

This recipe is particularly valuable at seasons when fruit is scarce. Take apples, peel them, put them over a slow fire, together with Madeira wine and sugar. When well stewed, split and stone raisins, and put them to stew with the apples and enough water to prevent their burning. When all appears well dissolved, beat it through a strainer bowl, and lastly through a sieve. Mold, if you like, or put away in small preserve jars, to cut in thin slices for the ornamentation of pastry, or to dish up for eating with cream.
