RE- For the benefit of ou1 lady friends

GH- For the benefit of oul lady friends
we publish the following recipes for pre-
serving different kinds of fruit. It would
be well enough to cut this out for future
reference. The simple agent in the work
of preserving fruit in fresh condition is
heat If, after the application of heat for
certain time, the article be, aOhiLe still hot,
sealed up Theoretically, it will remain un-
changed for an almost indefinite period.
This is the whole secret. Sugar may be
used or not; but we would recommend its
use to the extent of rendering the fruit
sweet enough for the table:
Brief Directions for Preserving Fresh
Fruit, Tomatoes, de-. an Self Sealing
Cans and Jars. d t.........
Rhu6ar6, or Pie-p7ant.-Cut up the
stalks without peeling. Stew with sugar,
as for pies, and seal up hot.
Strawberries. from half to three
quarters of pound of sugar to pound
of fruit. Sugar the strawberries and let
them stand for ten minutes; then put them
into preserving kettle, and let them boil
for three or four minutes. Fill the cans
or jars, and seal quickly, while the contents
are hot.
R0sp6errieS Same rs strawberries
CAerrieS.-Stew, with or without sugar,
ten minutes, and seal up boiling hot. Most
persons seed them. No fruit is more ca
silly kept in this way than cherries, and
none retains the natural flavor more per-
fectly. Either for pies or the tea-table
thew are delicious
GooSeberries- Heat to boiling point, ir
preserving kettle, with sugar say, from
half a pound to three-quarters, for each
pound of fruit, and seal up hot.
Curr0nts.-Green, same as gooseberlies
ripe, same as cherries.
Black6erries.-Same as strawberries.
| WhorHe5erries.-Sam as cherries.
Plunas.-Make syrup, using from bal
to three-q quarters of pound of sugar fo
every pound of fruit. After taking off tn,
skins, boil the plums in this syrup for tel
minutes, or until the fruit is tender. Thei
fill the cans or jars and seal up hot. Thes'
are very fine.
PeqcheS.-There are various ways o
putting up this delicious fruit. We vii
give several recipes, and the housekeepe
can try all, or select the one she likes best
/. Make syrup, using half a pound O
sugar for every pound of fruit. Pare an
halye your peaches. Boil them FIVE 0
