Method

  1. Allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
  2. Put the fruit in a preserving kettle over the fire and boil fifteen minutes, mashing a little to prevent sticking to the kettle.
  3. Then add the sugar and boil ten minutes, skimming carefully;
  4. turn into glasses and seal when cold.
