Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 lb Ham 1 qt Apple, dried
2 tb Brown sugar 2 c Flour
1 x Milk 4 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Pepper 1 ea Egg, well beaten
3 tb Butter, melted 1 ts Salt

Pick over and wash dried apples. Cover with water and let soak over night
or for a number of hours. In the morning, cover ham with cold water and let
boil for 3 hours. Add the apples and water in which they have been soaked
and continue to boil for another hour. Add brown sugar. Make dumplings by
sifting together the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Stir in the
beaten egg, milk (enough to make fairly moist, stiff batter), and melted
butter. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot liquid with the ham and
apples. Cover kettle tight and cook dumplings for 15 minutes. Serve piping
hot on large platter.
