4 c. cranberries 2 c. sugar

16

Plum Conserve.

17

1 sq. basket blue plums 1 lb. seedless raisins

18

4 oranges About 5 lb. sugar

19

Grated rind of 2 oranges y2 lb. broken walnuts

20

Boil plums, oranges, raisins and the grated rind of the oranges with an equal amount of sugar (about five pounds). Let fruit boil to pieces before adding sugar. Watch closely, stirring it, as it burns easily. Just before putting into glasses add the broken walnuts.

21

Red Raspberries.

22

Mash the berries and add one pound of granulated sugar for every pound of fruit. Mix thoroughly and let stand twelve hours, stirring occasionally. Seal in glass cans without heat- ing. They will keep for a year or more and retain their flavor much better than when cooked. If they should appear to be fermenting, do not be alarmed.

23

Spiced Gooseberries.

24

green gooseberries

25

Prepare the fruit and use one pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Cook until transparent.
