wo ounces of cleaned currants (No. 1080). Garnish between the apples with four ounces of candied fruits, placing some on top. Pears, angelica, and cherries, all sliced, make a pretty effect. Return to the oven for five minutes, and serve. 22 338 THE TABLE. 1175. Iced Timbale ail Riz. — Line a timbale - mold holding three pints with a quarter of a pound of pie-paste (No. 1077). Have ready three-quarters of a pound of boiled rice (No. 1172). Peel, core, and cut into quarters three fine, sound apples; put them into a saucepan with two ounces of powdered sugar, one ounce of butter, half a gill of cold water, and half a saltspoonful of salt. Cover, and let cook for ten minutes. Remove the lid, and add to the apples two tablespoonfuls of apricot marmalade (No. 1335). Stir slightly at the bottom for four minutes with the spatula, being careful to avoid breaking the apples. Cover the bottom and sides of the timbale with half a pound of the boiled rice; pour in the apples, lay the remainder of the rice on top, and cover with an ounce and a half of pie-paste. Put the timbale into a moderate oven, and cook for thirty minutes. When the surface is of a good golden color, remove, and put aside to cool thoroughly, leaving it at least two hours. Turn it over onto a dessert-dish, remove the mold, and lay the timbale in a short, low, ivide freezer; cover, then put it in a tub of nearly the same size, filling it well with chopped ice; sprinkle the top and sides freely with rock salt, and freeze thoroughly for an hour and a half. Remove the cover carefully to avoid any ice or salt falling into the freezer. Take out the timbale, and wipe well the dish. Have ready one pint of whipped cream (No. 1254) with half a gill of maraschino; beat this well for two minutes. Pour it over the timbale, and send immediately to the table. Should there be no freezer handy, the timbale may be cooled by placing in the ice-box for three hours. 1176. Croustade de Riz Meringnee.— On a floured board roll half a pound of feuilletage paste (No. 1076) into an oval shape, and a quarter of an inch thick. Lay it upside down on an oval dish ten inches long by six wide, and with a knife cut away the superfluous paste. Remove the dish, and place the oval paste in a baking-dish; then roll out the pieces which were cut away, and with a small fancy paste- cutter (No. i) cut it all up. With a small hair pastry-brush dipped in beaten egg, wet the edges of the oval, and arrange the pieces all around, crown-shaped. Bake this croustade in a moderate oven thirty minutes. Have ready six ounces of boiled rice (No. 1172). Peel and core six medium-sized fine apples. Put them into a saucepan with two ounces of powdered sugar, a gill of cold water, and half a saltspoonful of salt. Put on the lid, and let cook on a slow fire for twenty minutes. Arrange half the rice on the croustade, dress the apples over, and fill up the cavities with the rest of the rice. Add to the juice of the apples in the pan two ounces of apricot marma- lade (No. 1335). Mix well for two minutes and pour it over the whole. Then set it in a slow oven for fifteen minutes. Remove, and beat up two eggs as for a meringue (No. 1247), mixing in two ounces of powdered sugar. Put this into a pastry-bag (No. 1079), and decorate the surface of the croustade artistically with it, sprinkling a little sugar over. Return it to the oven for five minutes, to get a good color. Pass a knife gently under the croustade, and dexterously slide it from the baking-pan onto a hot dessert-dish, and serve. DESSERTS, 339 1177.
