Ingredients
- quarter pound white sugar to one pound of fruit
- one pound of fruit
Directions
1
Take dry soft peaches and peel them. Then spread them on dishes, and mash them till they are reduced to a pulp, but do not mash until the juice comes out. Weigh them before mashing, and allow a quarter pound white sugar to one pound of fruit. Mix the sugar and peaches, and spread it out on plates or dishes to dry. When they are dry enough to handle make them into cakes about the size and thickness of water crackers. Put them back on the dishes, and turn them over every morning. When dry pack them in sugar.
