  2. Put them in a stone jar, and set it into a kettle of boiling water.
  3. Let it boil till the fruit is very soft.
  4. Strain it through a sieve.
  5. Then run the juice through a jelly-bag.
  6. Put a pound of sugar to a pint of juice, and boil it together five minutes.
  7. Set it in the sun a few days.
  8. If it stops boiling, it is less likely to turn to jelly.
