Snowballs, Rice. — No. l. Wash half a poimd of rice in two or three waters and pick out all imperfect grains. Throw it into a saucepan of fast-boiling water, and boil quickly for ten minutes ; drain, and cool it. Pare five or six large baking apples, and carefully scoop the core without dividing them. Put into the hollow of each a little grated lemon- rind or cinnamon and sugar. Divide the rice into as many portions as there are apples, and spread each portion in a cu-cular form on a separate cloth. Lay the fruit in the centre, and tie the cloth to cover the apple with the rice. Put the puddings into boiling water, and keep them boiling quickly until done enough. Turn the snowballs upon a hot dish, strew pow- dered sugar thickly over them, and send melted butter to table with them. If li]i:ed, oranges, skinned and cleared from the thick white skin, may be substituted for the apples. Time to boU, an hour and a half. Probable cost of snowballs, Id. each.
