* True hard sauce has booze in it. Otherwise it's just a
sweet sauce. I added in the proportion of hooch it needs
as an option - not included in the original recipe. The
quantities of ingredients were taken from my Grandmother's
recipe for Hard Sauce to pour over date pudding.
-- Uncle Dirty Dave
Soak tapioca and salt in cold water for five hours; keep
in a warm place but do not cook. Two hours before dinner,
pare and core the apples; place them in a pudding dish;
fill the cavities made by removing cores with sugar and a
little grated nutmeg, or lemon peel; add a cup of water.
Bake apples one hour, turning to prevent them drying.
When quite soft, turn over them the tapioca. Bake one hour
longer.
Serve with hard sauce.
