APRICOT CENTER.

Take ten-pound can of apricots and run them through a colander or fine sieve, then put all in a kettle and add 10 pounds sugar; cook over a slow fire and stir until quite thick, so that when you raise the paddle it won’t run off, but drop off in chunks; then set kettle off on barrel and add 3 ounces of dissolved gelatin and run the batch in starch in round, flat molds; let remain over night; use this for dipping or crystalizing then.

When dipped in fondant and then cut in two, they make a showy piece of goods.
