Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. Plum
  2. Cut
  3. Water
  4. four pounds of fruit
  5. a pound of sugar

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. Cut the fruit from the stones, and allow to every pound after it is stoned half a pound of sugar.
  2. Boil it till it becomes a jam and will stiffen.
  3. Damson, Bullace, or Plum Cheese of any Kind.
  4. • Weigh the fruit, and allow a pound of sugar to every four pounds of fruit.
  5. Put the fruit into an earthen pot, and set the pot into a kettle of water till the fruit is softened, so that it will pulp through a colander.
  6. Then boil the pulp with the sugar till the cheese will stiffen.
  7. Some of the kernels of the fruit blanched and put in, improve it very much.
