August 2nd : NORMANDY PIPPINS STEWED
Put half a pound of Normandy pippins into a stew pan, and the peel of half a lemon cut thin; dissolve a quarter of a pound of loaf-sugar in a pint of spring water, pour this over the fruit, cover down the pan close, and set it on a slow fire for two hours and a half.
