Strawberry Drops Recipe

Rub some ripe strawberries through a fine seive with

a wooden spoon; add two ounces of this juice to half a pound of

powdered sugar, (cost five cents,) put the mixture into a saucepan and

stir it over the fire until it begins to simmer; remove it from the

fire, and stir it briskly for five minutes, oil some paper, lay it on a

baking sheet, drop the strawberries on it by the salt-spoonful, dry them

in the mouth of a cool oven. Keep them between layers of white paper in

a cool place. A good supply can be made for twenty-five cents.
