Ingredients. - Savarin border, prepared as directed, preserved pineapple, four tablespoonfuls of apricot marmalade, glace cherries. For the syrup: one and a half pints of water, six ounces of loaf sugar.
Method. - Prepare a border as directed in the preceding recipe. Boil the loaf sugar and water to syrup, add to it the strained apricot marmalade, simmer until sufficiently thick, then put in the pineapple, cut into dice, and allow it to become thoroughly hot. When ready, place the savarin on a hot dish, baste it well with the syrup, then pile the pineapple in the center, garnish with cherries, and strain over the remainder of the syrup. Variety may be obtained by using apricots or peaches instead of the pineapple.
