The cooked apples taste like citron – delicious and not expensive.
Soak 3 cupfuls of dried apples overnight in cold water enough to swell them.
Chop them in the morning and stew with 3 cups molasses until soft; add 2 handfuls of seedless raisins (opt) and stew a few moments.
When cold, add 3 cupfuls of flour*, spice if preferred, 1 cupful of butter or marg, 3 eggs and 1 tsp bicarb. Mix well.
Bake in mod oven to make 2 good-sized cakes.
* SR needed for this quantity?
