sherry.

I

of

flowers.

3

lbs.

of

Made

the

same

way

as

(see

Haspberry

Yinegar

Syrup.

31

lbs.

of

sugar.

1

pint

of

raspberry

juice.

2

pints

of

vinegar.

As

in

making

raspberry

syi'up

(see

No.

422)

white

or

red

fruit

may

be

used.

White

raspberries,

however,

re-

quire

the

best

loaf

sugar

and

white

wine

vinegar,

so

as

not

to

discolor

the

syrup.

Clean

the

raspberries

;

mash

them

in

a

pan,

and

put

in

a

warm

place, for

a

day

or

two,

until

they ferment

;

strain

them,

and

pour

in

the

vinegar

;

strain

again

;

add

the

sugar,

and

boil

to

the

"pearl"

(see

No.

13).

Another

plan

is

to

take

whole

raspberries

(say

2

lbs.,

1

1

pint

of

vinegar,

and

2

lbs.

of

sugar),

and

put

them

in

the

vine-

gar,

and

stand

the

jar,

well-covered,

in

a

shady

place

for

10

days.

At

the

expiration

of

this

time

filter

the

mixture

add

the

sugar,

and

place

the

jar

in

a

pan

of

hot

water,

and

boil

gently.

This

mode

preserves

the

finest

qualities

oi

the

fruit,

which

are

not

partially

lost

by

boihng,

as

in

the

previous

method.
