  1. 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.

Method

  1. Take out the stones, put them into your pan, and let them do three parts to draw the juice, which you squeeze through your jelly-bag.
  2. Put your mirabelle juice, with half a pound of sugar to each quart of the juice.
  3. Let it simmer quickly, stirring it continually till the liquid is well reduced, then put it into pots.
