No ratings yet

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. three pints of water
  2. two and a half pounds of sugar
  3. Cut
  4. six pounds of fruit

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. For six pounds of fruit, when cut and ready to can, make syrup with two and a half pounds of sugar and nearly three pints of water;
  2. boil syrup five minutes and skim or strain if necessary;
  3. then add the fruit and let it boil up;
  4. have cans hot, fill and shut up as soon as possible.
  5. Use the best white sugar.
  6. As the cans cool, keep tightening them up.
  7. Cut the fruit half an inch thick.
