Preserving Fruits.

As the season for preserving fruits u
near at hand, we print the following,
which we find in one Of our exchanges,
for the benefit of our lady friends:
Our native fruits, both wild and calti-
waited, ftifnish an inexhaustible supply
of the proper ingredients e,r the making
of all kinds of preserves, We give a
few tried receipts for their manufacture,
and trust they may be used extensively,
to the exclusion of the unhealthy COM
pounds that we are so prone to patron,
ize:
Jellies Of Strawberries and Blackber-
es.-Bruise the fruit. put in a thin
cloth, and allow to strain over night
Next morning add half pound Of SUI
gar to each pint of juice; boil twenty
minutes.
Grape Jelly.-Bruise and boil the
fruit, then strain ; sid kaff a pint Of su-
gar to each pint of juice; then boil from
ten to twenty minutes.
Fig Jelly.-Wash, and add water suf-
icient to cover the fruit; boil twenty
minutes, strain, then add sugar, and boil
as above.
Wild Crab Apple.-Cover the fruit
with water and boil until soft, then
strain; add one pound of sugar to each
pint Of juice; boil from fifteen to twenty
minutes.
Siberian Crab Apple.-Proceed as for
preceding, but only add one-half pound
of sugar to each pint.
Haw.-Cover with water, boil until
soft, mash, strain, and half a pound Of
stgaf to each pint of juice; boil twenty
minutes.
Sloe Jelly.-Mash, boil, strain half
pound of sugar to pint of juice.
Plum.-Mash, boil, strain as above.
Peach Jelly.-Wash, without remo'
wing skins or pits; cover with water !;
boil until soft, strain, and add half q
pound of sugar to pint of juice boil
twenty minutes.
Canned Fruits'=Make syrup with su-
gar and water, averaging a quarter Of a
pound of sugar to each pint Of juice ;
boil the fruit until done, GIL the jars boil
ing hot, and seal up Immediately
Keep jars warm before filling with fruit.
Brandy Peaches. s.-One pound of su-
gar to each pound Of fruit; boil until
soft make the syrup with as little wa
ter as possible: Take the peaches and
lay separately on dish; boil the syrup
again until the right consistency put
the peaches in the jar, then add one part
brandy to two parts of syrup; stir and
fill up the jar.
Sweet Pickles.-Twelve pounds of
fruit, six pounds of sugar, and a quart
Of cider vinegar, cloves and cinnamon.
Let the fruit boil as above until soft !
take out, put carefully on dish, ct the
syrup boil down, then put ON the fruit
again and bod few minutes; FIJI jars,
and seal with tissue paper dipped in the
white Of an egg.
Plum Preseryes.-Plums are equally
as good done in molasses as sugar. II
sugar is used, take an equal quantity of
fruit and sugar. Make clear syrup,
and boil tine pluuts gently forty minutes.
They will require heating over once to
be kept. Beech plums are excellent
prepared in this way, as well as for pics.
