Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. a pint of water
  2. Must
  3. a pound of sugar
  4. Plums
  5. Peaches

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.

Method

  1. The large white plums must be skinned by using boiling water, as for peaches, and then throwing them into cold water.
  2. For one pound of fruit allow half a pound of sugar, and half a pint of water for three pounds of sugar.
  3. Cook but few at a time, and take them out carefully.
  4. Fill up the jar with hot syrup.
