How to Candy Cherries

In the June Woman's Home
companion writer gives the fol
lowing recipe for making candie'
cherries:
"In making candied cherries q
use the large red cherries. Boiling
water is poured over them after
the stones have been removed; they
are allowed to stand in this a while,
then the water is poured, and the
cherries drained. In a preserving
kettle is placed pound and a hall
of sugar to each pound of fruit and
one-half cupful of water. This is
boiled to the soft ball stage; then
the cherries are added, and sim
mered very slowly for fifteen OF
twenty minutes or until the cherries
are red and transparent; then the,
are removed with a skinner, and
placed on platters. These are
placed in the strong sun, or in slow
oven until nearly dry. The slrup
is cooked down to the hard ball
stage and a little red fruit coloring
added; then the cherries are placed
IN this few at a time, and sim
mered slowly until each cherry is
we'll permeated with the sirup;
then they are removed to the
platter again, and placed in the
sun until thoroughly dried; they
are then packed in pasteboard
boxes or tins lined with paraffin
paper. Paraffin paper is also placed
between each two layers. If wish
to keep them for any great length
of time | pack them in wide
mouthed jars, with waxed paper
between each two layers and seal
up"
