Strawberries In Syrup Recipe

1 pound strawberries.

1 pound cherries.

1/2 pound loaf sugar.

1 pint water.



Pound the cherries in a mortar, crushing as many of the stones as

possible. Place them with the water and sugar in a stewpan, and boil one

hour without the lid. Strain the syrup into a small stewpan, and reduce

until it commences to thicken, then place in the strawberries (first

removing the stalks), and shake them so that they become coated with the

syrup. Lift them out into a glass dish, reduce the syrup again until it

becomes quite thick, pour over the strawberries, and allow to get quite

cold.
