Ingredients:
2 lbs. of apples, 1/2 lb. of dates, 3/4 pint of milk, 1/4 pint of
cream, 6 cloves tied in muslin, and a little sugar.

Directions:
Pare, core, and cut up the apples, stone the dates, and gently stew the fruit with a teacupful of water and the cloves until quite tender; when sufficiently cooked, remove the cloves, and rub the fruit through a sieve; gradually mix in the milk, which should be boiling, then the cream; serve cold with sponge-cake fingers.
