- Have the plums nearly ripe;
- allow a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
- Put the plums in a kettle of cold water, and let it heat gradually until it boils;
- pour off this water, and do not use it, as it will impair the flavor of the preserves.
- Make a syrup of the sugar and enough water to cook them in.
- When the syrup has boiled a few minutes, put in the fruit, and let it boil until done.
