cess: Place very wet cloth in the dish
pan; set the jar in this, having previously
rinsed it by rolling in hot water; place in
it a silver spoon; put in the tunnel and a
cupful Of syrup first, then fill with fruit
to tho top. Remove the spoon, and set
the jar where no draft of air can strike it.
The fruit should be covered with syrup.
In ten minutes the contents of the jar will
have cooled and settled some, and they
will be ready to seal up. Fill them to
the top with syrup or hot water; put on
rubber, the glass cover, and the screw
ring. When the jars are cold, the covers
should be frightened again, and then set
away in a cool, dark place."

having tomato for the upper and lower
layers, and adding all the Juice. Stew

berries, and SO on, putting in one part
rico to four parts whortleberries, with
sugar to sweeten, if desired. Then cover
and set in the steam or in All oven; fill
the fruit even full Of hot water. Do not
move it again until the rice is swelled;
cook an hour at least after it begins to

throughout. Set away to cool in the jar.
