Prepare half a pound of boiled rice as for No. 101. Butter a mold holding three pints. Garnish the bottom and sides with the rice, us-ing a wooden spoon for the purpose. Peel, core, and cut into quarters six fine, sound, Newtown pippin apples. Put them into a saucepan with three ounces of powdered sugar, a gill of cold water, and half a saltspoonful of salt. Place the pan on a hot stove, put on the lid, and let cook for ten minutes. Remove, and fill the mold with eighteen of the pieces, reserving the other six for later use; then put it in a slow oven for twelve minutes. Use an ordinary towel to remove it from the oven. Lay a dessert-dish on top, turn over, and lift off the mold. Decorate the base with the rest of the apples, inclining them slightly; and the top with two ounces of cleaned currants. 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.
