How to Make Fashionable Apple Dumplings – The Victorian Way

oh hello today we're making fashionable apple dumplings and for this we need dishcloths my kitchen maids have been busy knitting and I'm just casting off for them for this recipe you will need apples marmalade [Music] and suet crusts [Music] first you need to peel and core the apples Edgar has done as requested and found me apples roughly the same size this is ideal for the cooking as well as the presentation now I'm going to put in the center of the apple marmalade this is orange marmalade my recipe made by mrs. Warwick the housekeeper to make the apples into dumplings I'm going to wrap suet crust around it so I'm going to roll out the crust until it's nice and thin suet pastry is the easiest pastry to make so when my maids are learning I always get them to start with this suet is the hard fat from around the kidneys of animals we tend to use beef suet now that it's nice and thin we're going to wrap it around the Apple we need to make sure it's nice and smooth all the way over cut off any extra paste and make sure that it completely seals around the Apple until it's smooth all over and now wrap it in a dish cloth that's been covered with melted butter [Music] tie it with a string and make sure it's really tight and now to bother them [Music] make sure the water is already boiling otherwise the dumplings will disintegrate keep it at a simmer for just under an hour depending on the size of your apples now that they're done I'm going to take them all out so they stop cooking and I'm going to carefully take off the cloth eliza Acton's recipe says they should be served on a plate with the doily so that's how I'm going to serve them I'm going to serve these as they are but if they're any leftover tomorrow they are lovely baked and then can be served as a luncheon dish there we are fashionable apple dumplings [Music] you [Music]
