- (A good Receipt.) The barberries for this preserve should be quite ripe, though they should not be allowed to hang until they begin to decay.
- Strip them from the stalks, throw aside such as are spotted, and for each pound of the fruit allow eighteen ounces of well-refined sugar;
- boil this, with one pint of water to every four pounds, until it becomes white, and falls in thick masses from the spoon;
- then throw in the fruit, and keep it stirred over a brisk fire for six minutes only;
- take off the scum, and pour it into jars or glasses.
- Sugar, 43 Ibs.
