MARRONS A LA ROMA — Boil one pound of Italian chestnuts fifteen min- utes, then remove shells and skins, and put back on the stove to boil with one cupful of milk, until tender enough to rub through a colander. Butter a mold well, and line thickly with the pulp, then add a layer of good, thick apple sauce, colored a delicate pink with currant jelly ; then another layer of chestnuts, and again the apple. Squeeze some lemon juice
