Ingredients
- ten pounds of red
- twelve pounds of granulated sugar

Directions
Ten pounds of red or black raspberries, twelve pounds of granulated sugar, one quart currant juice. Make syrup of the sugar and juice ; when boiling add the fruit, and continue for ten minutes. Put in glass cans and fasten immediately.
STRAWBERRIES.
Take large, select but not overripe ones. Stem them and put into a bottle, giving them a shake now and then to settle them down ; have ready a hot syrup of sugar, with just water enough to dissolve it ; let boil ten minutes, then pour over and seal up ; turn the bottle upside down to be sure there is no air in it. If done so, they will retain their color and flavor. Then wrap the bottles in paper and put away in the cellar.
DRIED AND CANDIED FRUITS. 497
Scald enough to remove the skin, then let them come to a boil and no more ; have your cans ready, begin to fill them, shake a little pepper and salt, then a layer of tomatoes, then salt and pepper, and so on until full. You will find they will keep as fresh as when gathered. Don't cut the tomatoes but leave them whole.
