apple sauce.  Put
  Apple shells in
  1 quart cold water to which is added
  1 teaspoon salt.  Remove skins and seeds from
  1/4 lb. (1 cup) white grapes.  Just before serving drain apple shells. 
Remove apple balls from the water. 
Drain and mix with the
  White grapes and with
  1/3 cup maraschino cherries and fill apple shells.  Mix
  3 tablespoons syrup from maraschino cherries with
  Juice of 1/2 orange and put over the apple balls.  Serve apple shells
in individual dishes or cocktail glasses surrounded with
  Crushed Ice.

Apple may be removed in small oval shapes with a coffee spoon, if a French ball cutter is not available.

Grapes may be bought in cans if fresh grapes are not in market.
