To Preserve Raspberries Recipe

Strain equal quantities of ripe currants and raspberries, to make a

syrup to preserve the raspberries in. Dissolve white sugar in the syrup,

by a gentle heat, using a pound of sugar to each pound of syrup and

raspberries. When the sugar has dissolved, set the syrup where it will

boil about ten minutes, then put in the raspberries, and let them boil

five minutes. In the course of four or five days, turn the syrup from

the raspberries--boil it away, so that there will be just enough of it

to cover the berries--turn it on them while hot. Keep them in

wide-mouthed bottles, corked and sealed up tight. Preserved raspberries

are very nice to flavor ice creams and blanc mange.
