quartered cooking apple; now when it gets too dry add hot water from
the tea kettle, and let it simmer for three or four hours, the longer
the better, add salt when almost tender, and about half hour before
serving add quarter cup of sugar, quarter cup of vinegar, and let
simmer the last half hour. This is the real German way.
