Today we all be mightie bussie with the cooking reddie for tomorrow's partie.  John's mother did showe me how to make a new pudden to eate colde, and we taisting a piece did find it verrie good.

  This is how it be made:

  Take 6 apples with the pipps out and leaving on the skin, cut in verrie thin slivers and lay in the bottom of a dish.  Cover well with black sugar, and sum fat chopt verrie small.  Cover all with bred crumbs well soaked with brandy, then more apple slivers and chopt fat and sugar, then more crumbs well soaked with the brandy; then break 3 egges in a bowl and beat with a spoon till frothie, with a measure of brandy, and pour over all, then cook in the bake oven for 30 minutes by the clock. When it is verrie cold, take a measure of cream and beat it up till it be very stiffe, but not butterie, and pour over the top in lumps.

  This be a verrie dainty dish and good eating.

At least there's plenty of brandy involved.
