Half a gill of wine and brandy mixed,
One table spoonful of rose-water.

Half a nutmeg,
Two table spoonsful of brandy, or rose-water if preferred.
Peel the apples and core them; cut them in small pieces, and stew them in very little water till they are soft. Pass them through a sieve to free them from lumps.
