To Preserve Prunes Recipe

Pour boiling water on the prunes, and set them where they will keep hot,

with a lemon, cut in small pieces. When swelled out to nearly the

original size, put to each pound of the prunes half a pound of brown

sugar, a stick of cinnamon, or a tea-spoonful of powdered cloves, and if

there is not sufficient water remaining to cover the prunes, add more,

and stew them in the syrup a quarter of an hour. Add, when taken from

the fire, a wine glass of wine to every three pounds of the prunes.
