  • Preserving. Old preserving methods may not make food safe to keep. Use current tested guidance.

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. Water
  2. Sugar
  3. Cut
  4. one pint of juice

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. Put any kind of fruit into a preserving pan, stir it till it will mash quite soft, and strain it.
  2. To one pint of juice, add a pound and a half of fine sugar;
  3. dissolve the sugar in water, and boil it till the water is dried up.
  4. Then mix it with the juice, boil it once, pour it into plates, and dry it in a stove.
  5. When wanted for use, cut it in strips, and make paste knots for garnishing.
