    3       sm           Apples
    1                    3″ stick of cinnamon
    1                    2″ piece dried ginger root
    4                    Coriander seeds
    3                    Whole cloves
    3                    Whole allspice berries
    2                    Cardamom seeds
    1       c            Water
    1       c            Sugar
      1/2   ts           Freshly grated nutmeg
      1/4   ts           Mace
    4 1/2   c            Ale
    3       c            Dry sherry or madeira
    3                    Eggs, separated
 
   Wash, core and bake the apples at 350F. for 30 to 45
   minutes or until tender, but not mushy. Tie all of the
   whole spices together in a cheesecloth bag. Combine
   the water and sugar in a large pot. Add the spice bag,
   grated nutmeg and mace. Bring to a boil, stirring
   until sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer
   for 10 minutes. Add the ale and sherry. Heat to just
   below the boiling point. Meanwhile, beat the egg
   whites until stiff and beat the egg yolks until thick.
   Fold the whites into the yolks in a heatproof punch
   bowl. Remove the spice bag and add the heated liquid
   very gradually to the eggs, stirring briskly after
   each addition. Float the roasted apples on top. Serve
   hot. Yields 12 servings.
