Pickled Apples Boil together 1 qt vinegar and 6 cups brown sugar. When it has come to a boil, skim and add 1 teasp each cloves, cin- namon and allspice, then fill the boiling spiced syrup full with sweet apples that have been washed and wiped dry, cut in halves and the cores removed. Do not pare the apples. Let boil until soft but not soft enough to break. Can and seal air tight. Give the cans a little shake, once in a while, when filling them, so the contents will settle down and the air bubbles break. Be sure to fill the cans overflowing full. — [M. P., N. H. Crabapple Preserves Allow 1 lb sugar for every lb of carefully selected ripe, red crabapples. Wipe the apples clean but leave the stems on and scald them in boiling water. Make a syrup of the sugar, adding a very little water, and when the sugar is boiled clear, put in the fruit and boil until soft. Then skim out the apples carefully and put them into jars. Boil the juice down until it is quite thick. Drain out the liquid collected in the jars and add it to the boiling juice. When sufficiently thick, pour it over the fruit, having each jar as full as possible. Seal while hot. These may be put up in small stone jars, but in that case, do not cover the jars until the contents are thoroughly cold. — [M. P., N. H. Spiced Crabapples Thoroughly heat 1 pt vinegar and 4 lbs sugar, then add 6 lbs crabapples, chopped fine, 2 lbs raisins, seeded and chopped, the grated rind and juice of 2 lemons, 1 teasp cloves and 2 teasp cinnamon.
