Then add one pint of sugar, a teaspoonful of dried lemon or orange rind, or half a fresh lemon sliced, and half a teaspoonful of cinnamon.

Stew half an hour longer, and then use for filling the pies.

The apple can be strained if preferred, and a teaspoonful of butter added.

This quantity will make two pies.

Dried peaches are treated in the same way.
