RECIPES

FOR

SMALL

QUANTITIES.

ciso

point.

If

not

sufficiently

boiled,

after

a

time

it is

apt

to

become

mouldy

;

and

if

boiled

too

much,

it

will

grain

a

little,

and

thus

become

candied.

Sau<tepans

made

of

tin,

or

timied

on

the

inside,

should

not

be used

when

making

syrups

from

red

fruits,

as

these

act

on

the

tin,

and

turn

the

color

to

a

dead

blue.

(See

Nos.

6

and

7.)

Raspberry

Symp.

2

pints

of

filtered

raspberry

juice.

4|

lbs.

of

sugar.

Select

the

fruit,

either

white

or

red.

Having

picked

them

over,

mash them

in

a

pan,

which

put

in

a

warm

place

until

fermentation

has

commenced.

Let

it

stand

for

about

three

days.

All

mucilaginous

fruits

require

this,

or

else

they

would

jelly

when

bottled.

ISTow

filter

the

juice

through

a

close

flannel

bag,

or

blotting-paper,

and

add

sugar

in

the

proportion

mentioned

above

;

this

had

better

be

pow-

dered.

Place

the

syrup

on

the

fire,

and

as

it

heats

skim

it

carefully,

but

don't

let

it

boil;

or

you

may

mix

in

a

glass

vessel

or

earthenware

jar,

and

place

in

a

pan

of

water

on

the

fire.

This

is

a

very

clean

way,

and

prevents

the

sides

crusting

and

burning.

When

dissolved

to

the

"

little

pearl"

(see

No.

12)

take

it

off";

strain

through

a cloth;

bot-

tle

when

cold

;

cover

with

tissue-paper

dipped

in

brandy

and

tie

down

with

a

bladder.

41

lbs.

of

Take

as

many

cm'rants

(which

can

white

and

red)

as

you

think

sufficient

(about

6

lbs.),

and

pick

them

over.

Now

mash

and

ferment,

as

in

the

instructions

for

making

raspberry

syrup

(see

No.

422).

This

done,
