OUNCE butter is made by slicing
pared ounces, and boiling them IN suf-
fIcient water to entirely cover them;
let them cook until they are reduced to
pulp, then rub them through sieve,
weigh the pulp after putting it through
sieve, and to each pound allow three
quarters of pound of sugar; let this
boil until the pulp is almost like Jelly.
1t will harden of course after 1t is put
away in glasses, and il is well TO have
this in mind when preparing it. When
preserving ounces you can easily make
