Applesauce recipe and elopement tale from the Franklin Mercury
An eccentric item broadcasts a domestic recipe turning one bushel of apples into two bushels of applesauce using pumpkin and cider, framed as a witty audience appeal. It then recounts a Halstead Essex elopement in which a daughter fled with Mr S. to Gretna, pursued by her father, culminating in marriage and legal peace bonds.
