DOMESTIC RECIPES,



l can afford 50 many cans. | tried it
on small scale once, but as the fruit was
no better, and the space required 50 great,
and the expenses great too, gave it up. l
dry everything, or rather partially dry them :;
sioher pack in sugar or, after packing, pour
strong syrup over the frut. For the
small fruits, cherries, Strawberries, etc.
put in my preserving kettle cup or two of
sugar with the least water that will make a
stiff syrup, throw III some fruit: when scald-
ell, skim out as free from syrup as possible.
spread on plates and dry in tie oven, pack
before they are dried hard, boil the syrup
down. Add a little sugar each time YOU
add fruit. DO not put in too much at n
time, or in stirring you will break tender
fruits
Straw berries put up in this way will not
fade and though lneyer tried to keep them
more than a year, | have no doubt they
would last many years. | have kept
eherries III this way three years without
the trouble of scalding or wasting. When
wanted for use, add a little water as much
sugar as you wish, and stir gently, a few
minutes only. A buShcl of fruit can be
packed in gallon jar, and you will have
Jelly left after pouring on your dried fruit
